<div class="moz-forward-container">Hi folks <br>
<br>
Progress again.. Matt Williams and I should be meeting with these
two tomorrow to brief each other on goings on.<br>
<br>
Hopefully this proceeds more quickly than is outlined below, but
will advise. <br>
<br>
I could be the rep from Davis Community Network if someone else
wants to be the rep from Davis GIG, please let me know. <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
RAN<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Rob,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On December 3, 2015, the Davis City Council
approved the formation of a Broadband Advisory Task Force. We
are looking forward to having a representative from Davis Gig
on this task force. Our first meeting will occur on
Wednesday, February 24 at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall
Conference Room. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please forward the name and contact
information of your representative to me at your earliest
convenience but no later than February 10. I will invite them
directly and send them the agenda and other information in
advance of that first meeting. More information about the task
force can be found on the City’s website.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to help you select your
representative, I have included the purpose, scope and
objectives of this task force as shown below. I have also
included the composition of the task force. We will be
recruiting for the community member volunteers and will be
seeking individuals who live in Davis, have an interest in
community service, and have some expertise in a related area
such as communications technology, utilities, finance, or city
infrastructure projects. I have attached the press release
with more information on this effort. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you have any
questions and I will look forward to receiving the information
about your representative.<o:p></o:p></p>
