MINUTES

1) IT news from around campus:
* The chancellor will be contacting the IT Reorg subcommittee to discuss the
IT reorganization; she would also like to meet with the ITC before February.
Look for a special ITc meeting to be called quickly.
* Gary Klein mentioned that CITTI will launch a tech transfer journal soon
and will sponsor a tech transfer conference in 2003. Knowledge transfer
(e.g., possibly include scholarship about teaching and learning) will be a
major portion of this journal.
* Jerry mentioned that IT will broadcast the first basketball game on
Saturday on the (new) UCCS channel, the modem pool has now been completely
upgraded with 56K modems and additional lines (thanks to Student Technology
Fee), WebCT is ready for the semester, Cyberclass should be ready by early
next week, web-based email is scheduled for deployment this semester after
the email servers are beefed up, Science will be rewired this semester (jere
put in a request for UOP and MAE rewire), and the lab machines have ram
upgrades.
* Jerry also mentioned that he would like to upgrade the lab machines to
Windows 2000 (from 98) by fall 02 but this requires solid user notification
since therey could be issues.

2) IT Policy discussion. We discussed the draft of the Responsible Use
document. Jere will take the comments and send out a revised version for
electronic approval. There were many good comments. As with all policy
formation, this needs Chancellor approval after careful discussion with
faculty assembly, deans council, staff council, student government, and the
Executive team.

We also discussed the Email-as-official-form-of-communication policy draft.
More suggestions and need to take this back to the policy subcommittee.
