Notes: July 8, 1998 meeting of ThetNet Steering Committee

Present: David Kelman, Bill Weyrick, Bob Crossett, Martha Rich, Liora Aushlur

Funding

• David reported that E-Rate is in some question as to the funding. This uncertainty results in making decisions without certain funding. Decisions were made with the assumption that E-Rate will not be available. Plan components that will have to be shelved include: Email server (this will limit the number of accounts available to students), HTTP server (thet.net will remain on the Valley.Net server) and some of the Fiber connections. * Liora would write legislature.
• David reported TLC Grant will come through according to Phil Hyjek from state.
• Title 3 or 6 grants may be available.
