Based on discussion, it appears that currently Wolfson is the only campus that allows fax machines in private offices. The issue was raised that some computer vendors are now creating inexpensive PCs to put in locations where they will be primarily used for Internet access. It was suggested that Dell be invited to give a demo of their line of inexpensive Internet PCs and also of their lightweight laptops. Jackie said that her staff had been reviewing areas on campus that had reported that they were Y2K compliant and had learned that in fact they were not. She suggested that the Assoc.
Deans consider rechecking some of their areas.
She described the CCIR plan for addressing Y2K and New Year's Day which includes having a team staffing the data center on New Year's eve, including network and database specialists. Then on New Year's Day applications staff would come in and check systems. She has a conference call with the Executive Committee scheduled so she can report any unforseen problems that may come up. Jackie suggested that the campuses put their plans in writing and plan to have CNS staff come in on Saturday to see if there are any problems. Jackie asked Bill to arrange to have the mobile phones distributed in case of an emergency.
