Abstract
We investigate Poisson properties of Postnikov's map from the space of edge weights of a planar directed network into the Grassmannian. We show that this map is Poisson if the space of edge weights is equipped with a representative of a 6-parameter family of universal quadratic Poisson brackets and the Grassmannian is viewed as a Poisson homogeneous space of the general linear group equipped with an appropriate R-matrix Poisson-Lie structure. We also prove that the Poisson brackets on the Grassmannian arising in this way are compatible with the natural cluster algebra structure.
