**Agenda:**

I. Winter Projects

1.  Hardware & Software Security Policy issue was suggested by Steve
    Simon due to a theft that occurred at the Day Incident.\
    \
    After some discussion on our collective practices, it was apparent
    that we need to establish AND maintain some basic security
    protocols. Both hardware and software based. The fact that this
    happened highlights several key points.

    a.  Default passwords on rental equipment needs to be changed.

    b.  Passwords should not be posted on equipment

    c.  A standard Group Policy Object (GPO) should be developed and
        deployed to the CTSP community

    d.  Sometimes no matter what you do, equipment will be stolen. Can
        we minimize what can be done if it is?

2.  More generic discussion followed in which a target environment could
    be developed that utilized server based applications and thin
    clients as well as deploying a fire camp based Active Directory
    system that would be enabled to do user security, provide DHCP
    services, as well as backup services.

II\. Spring Conference

1.  Although being currently publicized as happening, there is a slight
    chance it will be canceled. Brian will be attending a meeting in the
    near future where the decision will (hopefully) be made. Target date
    is currently 2-Apr-2007 to 6-Apr-2007 at the Silver Legacy in Reno.
    NV. Same place as last year.

2.  If the NLW is cancelled, we discussed holding the 2007 CTSP
    Conference in Boise. A mostly central location for the same period
    of dates.

3.  A CTSPTG Cadre meeting is slated for 30-Jan-2007 to 1-Feb-2007 in
    Boise as well. This is for the CTSPTG Cadre only. Details and topics
    to be determined over the next few months.

III\. Sub Groups

1.  Training -- Topic tabled pending discussion with Carl Seielstad.

2.  The Draft CTSP Web page listed below is not working for most
    members. Brian will research and report back via E-mail.

IV\. Bi-Weekly meeting

1.  Biweekly meetings established. Starting 2-Nov-2006, CTSPTG Cadre
    teleconference will be held every two weeks at 10:00 AM Pacific.
    Phone number/passcode will continue to be 877-448-3140 / 6959768.

V. Other Topics

1.  Gladys informed the TG that the IRMWT will be meeting 9-Jan-2007 to
    11-Jan-2007. I would like to have our work plans completed (long)
    before 2-Jan-2007. Brian will prepare a draft version for comment
    before next conference.
