    <p>Hi All <br>
    </p>
    <p>Sorry the company we met with was ENTRY POINT Networks, a company
      that has been interested in the DavisGIG project, and spoken at
      events several times, not Encore Networks. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Also to Doug's question, not a co-op for our small project, but
      for Davis as a whole. <br>
    </p>
    <p>The CO-OP would get together to build the core ring and sub rings
      that was part of the City funded feasibility study, and then the
      neighborhoods based on participation or take rate. The ring would
      allow the community to see to the network needs of schools, help
      students, and provide better price options and business models to
      serve to our Apartment Complexes, businesses and homes. <br>
    </p>
    <p>We will have the opportunity to see the construction, cable
      placement, and lighting and get a good idea of how this could work
      for the City as a whole. <br>
    </p>
    <p>There are a lot of benefits to a community owning the
      infrastructure that don't disappear, even though the City gov
      doesnt see it as a priority. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Thanks</p>

      Hi. I read through the Council packet, looking for a description
      of the cooperative. The relevant sentence (!) is on pages 100-101
      of the packet, where they say it is a member-based organization,
      with no physical boundaries, with bylaws based on those of the
      Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative. That's a good source to
      clone from, but it doesn't tell us too much.
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Rural Electric Co-ops are usually consumer co-ops, and highly
        dependent on professional staff (appropriate for that industry).</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Throughout, I could tell that the "author" of the pieces of
        the packet wasn't a cooperator. There are a few little things,
        but the big one is "...with no physical boundaries." In general,
        cooperatives incorporate in one state, and don't sell
        memberships across state lines. It's a minor point in this
        context, but not when it comes to operations, IMO. But maybe
        there are new laws, or something.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>To answer your question, Rob, I have another question: are
        you looking for a co-op to operate the small fiber deployment
        project, or would that be just the start?</div>

              <p>HI All <br>
              </p>
              <p>I met with Mike Anderson and the President of Encore
                Networks in Davis in November. At that meeting, I was
                telling my woes about getting the City to participate in
                a community broadband deployment, and they recommended
                the COOP model to achieve the same ends, without
                directly involving City of Davis in the process. There
                seems to be a lot of community support for controlling
                the network locally, and making it open access to
                multiple providers. <br>
              </p>
              <p>Omsoft is embarking on the construction phase a small
                fiber deployment project north of the City limits  with
                a Woodland construction company. We should be done by
                July 2020, and will have first hand experience to share
                as to the feasibility of leading an effort in the town.
                <br>
              </p>
              <p>Looks like Michael is proceeding with a cooperative
                effort in Nevada City. <br>
              </p>
              <p>Is anyone up for participating /organizing a fiber
                optic community coop for our area? <br>
