Office Suite

By common consent, the official office suite for CAIS participating schools is Microsoft Office 97/2000. No timetable is set for adoption of Office2000, but schools will be expected to remain current with the generally accepted version of the product at any given time.

Council attendance 

Council Members are not expected to attend all BPA meetings when the Council does not meet, but each member is expected to attend sessions of the group to which he has been assigned. When this is not possible, the member needs to arrange for another member to do so.

ID Committee

The ID Committee is Scotti, Don, and Gene, with SCT consultants as needed. They will establish a small number of workable models for review by BPA chairs.

Database Servers

The position of the Council at this time is that each of the five service sites (CAIS, ME, SW, SP, LCMS) will make its own decision regarding the Oracle platform. The CAIS decision will be implemented for each of its customers.

A final online discussion will finalize this matter.

NT Servers

The Servers Committee will choose between IBM and Compaq and recommend models and configurations. The recommendation will be reported at or before the 6/29 Council meeting.

Next meeting

6/29 - 7/1, CAIS SC
