§ Staff Present: Max Ritchie
Janine presented the committee with an overview of how CATS will begin marking spam in the near future. CATS will set the threshold and monitor its performance. Details can be viewed on the Spamassasin website. Marking of messages at the central server level is in compliance with UC email privacy policy. CATS will report back to ITC on their progress.
NTSAC presented an updated proposal with an expanded rationale, which reflects the issues that ITC raised at the last meetings. The group is trying to stay at the $2.1 to 2.2 million dollar annual operating budget, which CATS can provide baseline service at. If they are allocated less then that, there may be a visible impact on campus. There may be a financial buffer when adds, moves, and changes of network services are factored in.
NTSAC hopes that in the long run, a network rate increase will be considered. It was also noted that there is uncertainty as to whether an accounting system can be in place for this new system by July 1, 2003.
Before this proposal is sent to PAC, NTSAC will clarify the definition of a knowledge worker and elaborate on policies for adds, moves, and changes of network services.
Wireless will be discussed at the next meeting.
