The repository initiative has a proof of concept pilot project underway and a working group has been named which includes five ISC members.

 

3. ‘Apple’ Support on Campus – Jim Kirkland

Jim raised the issue of the need for Apple support on campus. A survey of faculty in CBS indicated that 34% of the faculty use MACs. Jim also thought it would be interesting for ISC to see one of the research projects underway in the college.

Jim introduced Steve Crawford from Integrative Biology.

Steve gave a very interesting presentation on ATK – WS RESEARCH PROGRAM AND CFI GRANT.

Members agreed that Steve’s presentation was very informative and that this was the type of work that should be brought to ISC’s attention. It was suggested that other technology innovations occurring on campus could be brought forward and presented to ISC.

After some discussion among the members it was agreed that Mike and Jim would discuss Apple support further.

 

4. ISC Architecture Subcommittee – Jim Lennie

Report and Recommendation on Encryption Assignment

Jim spoke to the Status Report on Asignment-ITS-2007-01 and asked ISC members for their support and approval. The draft policy will be placed on the Policy website. Mike asked ISC members to take a close look at the document with regard to their areas. Members gave their approval to move this initiative ahead. After some discussion members agreed that a small taskforce be created to source an encryption solution. With regard to the Data Classification component; Mike will take this to PEC and the Secretariat.

 

5. ISC Infrastructure Subcommittee – Bo Wandschneider

Draft IT Issues Survey
