Meeting convened 5:02 pm
Approved prior minutes
VOIP phone system proposals
The vendors will be providing presentations. John will check on dates and get an invite.
Princeton-ma.us domain support
The current volunteer operating the service would like to transfer ownership. Pat presented this to the selectman who declined to provide support due to the obligations for time and responsiveness. Will look into options for transferring the domain to more turnkey hosting services. Will reply to Phil Mighdoll the current volunteer who has been maintaining this service.
Discussion regarding email retention.
It was decided that having a common email address for the IT committee would be valuable as a point of contact and a means to consolidate and retain any communications related to committee business. Peter will create one. This may be of interest to other committees once we establish a model for using it.
Discussion on required approvals for the IT plan being constructed. The understanding is that only actions need approval, not recommendations that the plan will outline.
Capital requests
These are being collected now for Jan operational budgets, unlikely to have any influence for this year.
Strategic plan
Elements of the plan were discussed.
A target was set to complete a full draft by mid-February and get approval in Q1.
First drafts for the Strategic Imperatives and Value Statements section for next meeting.
Next meeting Dec 17th 5pm
Meeting adjourned 5:56PM
