The mission of the Network Technology Group (NTG) is to identify, deliberate, and provide recommendations to the Network Operations Board (NOB) on operational and technical issues; to implement technical and operational decisions made by the NOB; and to provide direction for the management of Network infrastructure resources.

The NTG currently has two subgroups working on special issues. The Node 2.0 Task Force is currently drafting a new technical specification for Exchange Network Nodes called Node 2.0. There is also a Geospatial Task Force that is developing more explicit guidance for Network partners that are interested in exchanging geospatial data.
