III. Web Services Committee Report – Beth Riddle

Beth provided the group with Draft Recommendations and Action Plan for a Web Development Framework and presented an overview of the report.

Though the discussion was not completed, the ITC agreed on the following components of the report:

Creating an enabling mechanism like the Web Coordinators Group. This would be comprised of IT representatives from all divisions who meet together and make recommendations to the Web Council.
The need for someone to fill the role of Central Information Architect, which would be a resource for the entire campus. This could possibly be placed in PIO
Tool sharing via the Web Coordinators Group.
The creation of a Web council, which will serve as a working subgroup of ITC. UCLA has a similar group, which was initially co-chaired by their CIO/Communications representative, with a recent replacement for the CIO chair slot.

There are a few issues in the report that need further resolution/discussion. These include the possible creation of a campus marketing/communications plan, the need for a Web Technical Unit, and the definition of ‘official’, and how that relates to, among other things, links to the homepage, display of the UCSC seal, and URL naming conventions. These issues would be addressed by the Web Council.

A recommendation about the Chair for the Web Coordinators group, and the membership of the Web Council will be circulated to ITC by email for comment.
