Cox Responds/Quick Response Needed

[RFlanag@aol.com]

I talked with Deputy Mayor Tom Cox today about arranging a meeting with the 
City's consultant. Deputy Mayor Cox said that he was under the assumption 
that he would not move on setting the consultant meeting up until the 
Pittsburgh I-Net Working group had submitted an official committee list. 

In order to respond to his request, I am asking that if you want to become an 
official member of the Pittsburgh I-Net Working Group that you e-mail me the 
following information. Once the list is developed I will submit it to Deputy 
Mayor Cox and then he will arrange the meeting. Even if you have been very 
active with the working group I need this information. ACT NOW!

What committee do you wish to work on? (Committees described below.)

Committee Description
Two smaller committees will be established that would work with the City and 
its negotiating team to help refine the concept of a municipal I-Net:

1) Infrastructure committee.  This committee will focus on issues of network 
architecture and costs.

2) Management committee.  This committee will look at models for operational 
organization and management structure.

The two committees will help the negotiating team in formulating its requests 
for the structure and operation of a municipal I-Net. The committees will 
seek to define structures which adequately serve the needs of the City, the 
school district and the libraries with regard to reliability and flexibility, 
while providing the extensibility needed to meet community networking needs.
