The formal minutes will be posted on the city website:<br> <a href="http://cityofdavis.org/city-hall/commissions-and-committees/broadband-advisory-task-force" target="_blank">http://cityofdavis.org/city-hall/commissions-and-committees/broadband-advisory-task-force</a><br> <br> Intros<br> everyone gave a short intro on their background, goals, and interests<br> Oath of Office<br> I have now sworn to uphold the Constitutions of the US and CA (all 1000+ pages) and defend the country and state from all enemies, domestic and foreign. etc., etc.<br><br> Agenda Approval<br><br> Public Comment<br> there were 4 observers<br><br> Protocol/Meeting rules<br> BATF members need to make sure that their discussions on the davisGIG listserve do not inadvertently constitute a non-public “meeting” as defined by the Brown Act. Practically this means that there probably won’t be a lot of discussion by many of the BATF members about formal BATF business on the list serve. <br>(A “meeting” in this case is defined as 6 or more BATF members discussing a (BATF) topic on an email thread.)<br>NOTE: this doesn’t apply to non-BATF members, so feel free to comment away. <br>NOTE: as the DavisGIG rep, i should be able to respond to comments/questions, as long as the other BATF members pretty much just lurk.<br><br> Broadband Primer - Rob Nickerson<br> DavisGIG background and high-level intro to internet and network architecture<br> intro to how signals travel over the internet (OSI 7 layer mode), different broadband speeds, different technologies, etc.<br> slides will be posted on <a href="http://cityofdavis.org/city-hall/commissions-and-committees/broadband-advisory-task-force" target="_blank">http://cityofdavis.org/city-hall/commissions-and-committees/broadband-advisory-task-force </a>in a few days<br><br> Scope of Work<br> a brief review of the scope of work (decided by the City Council) and<br> topics for future agenda — comcast contract expiration, survey mechanics, feasibility study (possibly funded by dcn) <br><br> Selection of Chair/Vice-Chair<br> chair - chris clements<br> vice-chair - christine crawford<br><br><br> Meeting Schedule<br> wed nights were decided upon as the regular meeting night.<br> There was a long debate and disagreement on what the meeting schedule should be.<br> Several of us argued that there is some urgency in getting started and the group should meet twice/month. Some members didn’t have time to meet that often. I *think* (the vote was 5-4-1 and there was disagreement about whether a majority was 5-4 or whether abstentions count as a no and hence the decision was not passed) the decision was to meet once/month (4th wed) and have an extra meeting as needed.<br> I *think* we voted to have an extra meeting on april 6, but it is not clear if there will be a quorum. If we meet, an agenda item will be discussion of a feasibility study. (I think this is the most important item from a DavisGIG perspective).<br><br>-jeff<br> <br><br>---<br>Jeff Mischkinsky<br><a ymailto="mailto:jmischki@dcn.davis.ca.us" href="mailto:jmischki@dcn.davis.ca.us">jmischki@dcn.davis.ca.us</a> +1 530-758-9850<br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br>Please ref our wiki for details, documents and contacts:<br><br><a href="http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~help/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start" target="_blank">http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~help/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start</a><br><br>Davisgig mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Davisgig@list.omsoft.com" href="mailto:Davisgig@list.omsoft.com">Davisgig@list.omsoft.com</a><br><a href="http://list.omsoft.com/mailman/listinfo/davisgig" target="_blank">http://list.omsoft.com/mailman/listinfo/davisgig</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
