MEETING SUMMARY:
CTTC:
The Corporate Technical Training Center proposal was discussed. There were some questions on the payback issue, incorporating self-paced training items in the room, and who was going to be the overseer of the room once it is established. It was reported that the UMC and President’s Council has approved the project. Construction is scheduled to being October 1999.
Auditorium/Conference Rooms Remodel:
Eron provided an overview for the auditorium remodel and updates for the conference rooms. He reported that the President’s Council approved the updating of two conference rooms per year ($20,000/each), and $85,000 for multimedia updates to auditorium remodels (FL in 1999, ML in 2000).
A consultant has been working with Eron to develop the design for a basic multimedia auditorium, which includes projection, sound, video and lighting. A mid-range design was approved. Digital document camera and four new infocus machines will be purchased.
Discussion took place as to the determination of how the $85,000 was to be spent. Webcasting was expressed as a need that should be addressed. It was suggested that the MAG group should review the multimedia needs for these rooms to determine how the money should be allocated.
Videoconferencing:
Eron reported on the status of videoconferencing for the UCAR organization. By using PictureTel, an ISDN based system test was successfully completed. It was recommended that this type of videoconferencing be set up in the Damon room. Firewalls and security pose some problems. Training on the system and equipment will have to be established.
MAG Strategic Plan Outline:
Eron and Diann reviewed a draft outline for the MAG strategic plan. This included an overview, strategies, options, recommendations, services, and glossary of terms. It was stated that this was a rough draft, and that the MAG group needed to be involved in the development of the strategic plan.
It was recommended that MAG members review the draft outline and be prepared for the next meeting to provide input into its construction.
It was recommended that the next meeting in April be a working meeting to work on the MAG strategic plan.
Meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m.
