The Cornell CU-SeeMe Consortium is a consortium of universities, non-profit, and private organizations formed to support the rapid deployment and use of affordable, real-time conferencing technology to stimulate creative experimentation among the Internet community.
The Consortium provides resources to the CU-SeeMe project to research, develop, and deliver innovative solutions for real-time multiparty videoconferencing on the Internet and to improve communication and technology transfer between Consortium members. With the leadership of Cornell University, the Consortium is open to any organization interested in supporting the rapid diffusion of low-cost, desktop conferencing software to enable widespread experience which will generate knowledge useful in creating the next generation of network infrastructure.
The demands from the CU-SeeMe user community continue to outpace project resources. In lieu of a licensing or royalty fee structure, the CU-SeeMe Consortium requests membership contributions to supplement existing grant funding to respond to the growing needs of the CU-SeeMe user community.
