ACTION ITEM: Jon to schedule a special session of the CIO group.
OAAIS Updates
OAAIS is 15 months old. Heidi Schmidt was hired to replace Ian Tuller. Jane Wong’s group, which was in the Controller’s Office, is now the Application Services unit in OAAIS. Andrew Wissmiller now heads a unit called Information Technology Services. A new unit, Academic Research Systems (ARS) – directed by Michael Kamerick – is about to launch a Secure Data Environment service for investigators. ARS is also working on an Integrated Data Repository. Shahla Raissi was hired as Director of Business Resources Management. The PMO hired Candice Poolman in the position of Associate Director, Academic Information Systems.
The 654 Minnesota Street data center project is on track. Office occupants will move in next May or June. The Data Center move may take place in November or December, 2008. NGMAN negotiations are nearing completion.
Work on TIM/TAM continues. A new email advisory group will meet next week.

Larry reported Internal Audit was dissatisfied with the IS-10 compliance of a recent development project.
School of Medicine Updates
Opinder Bawa is reorganizing the ISU to be “flatter.” Two assistant directors are currently being recruited – one for application development and one for project management.
