Ben & Jim:

This note is a followup to the recent CETI conference in which your campus participated. First of all, let me express my personal appreciation to you and your staff for all your cooperation and support in that effort; it was very helpful in making the program just as productive as we had hoped.

I am attaching a joint memo from Spencer Freund and Gary Adams summarizing their views on the outcomes of the conference/visitation program, and also conveying their thanks for the gratifying campus participation we experienced.

We are continuing to seek input to add to that already gleaned from the many hours spent with CSU site teams over the past couple of weeks. As part of that effort, I am attaching a copy of the notes the recorder made during the conference with your personnel; if you have further comments or any corrections, please see that they are returned to me by Friday, December 5. As you are aware, these notes are one important element to be used in the preparation of the high-level work scopes and related cost estimates which must be prepared by CETI staff no later than December 15. We need your help to assure that the information is as accurate and complete as is possible within the short timeframe available.

One particular document which remains a special focus for systemwide input is the developing Network Infrastructure Buildout model definition. The latest version of that language is yet another attachment to this note, as also is a request for comparison data relating the model to your specific local infrastructure needs. I am FAXing to you the current versions of the schematic illustrations associated with the model, since those illustrations create graphics files that are a bit awkward to send by E-mail. Again, we are asking that you submit both any comments you would like to offer on the model definition language (which is certainly a work still in progress) and the requested comparison data by December 5.

Thanks for any new assistance you can provide in these matters.

Best regards,

Ken Secor
