Agenda: NBIS Meeting on June 15, 2000
We have two main topics for tomorrow's N-BIS meeting (1:30 - 3 p.m. in the Garrett Hall conference room). #1. Vice Presidents Bob Sweeney and Bob Reynolds will join us for a discussion & brainstorming about a question raised by President Casteen at a recent cabinet meeting. He had seen a presentation about a national student loan portal and wondered what U.Va. is doing in this area, who here is assessing or developing new web functions (both administrative and for the classroom), how the planning is coordinated, etc. The vice presidents hope to think through with us not only the substantive answers to those questions, but also ideas about how best to keep the cabinet informed. A presentation by Nancy Tramontin on our student portal project and a proposed team to coordinate the development of e-business applications will relate closely to the above. #2. Jim Jokl will brief us on new network services he's considering, such as virtual hosting and the providing of .org or .com accounts on ITC servers (in addition to .edu). We'll want to discuss the implications for existing or proposed policies & procedures. For example, our no-advertising policy, as approved, covers virginia.edu. Does it need to -- or can it -- be broader? Are there other ways to give centers & units the catchy URLs they prefer? Louise Dudley, Chair
