Governance and Organization

DVSAC

Randy reported on the recent DVSAC meeting, stating the best return on investment would be to approach the project from the broader perspective of space planning rather than individual issues that need troubleshooting. He is working with Jeff Fritz and Shahla Raissi to address capital equipment planning.

ITGC

Jon described the IT Governance Committee discussion about the proposed governance structure. Some thought it was a good way of organizing governance from an administrative perspective, but a broader, more strategic view is also needed.

        ACTION ITEM: Randy and Jon will present a proposed organizational diagram at the next ITGC meeting.
