Minutes
Minutes from meetings held on September 7, 2001 and September 21, 2001 were approved with changes.

Subcommittee Reports

Student Computing Committee
Elizabeth Hinkle-Turner reported that the Student Computing Committee had nothing to report.

Mac OS X Support
Rich Anderson reported that Mac OS X 10.1 has been released.  Maurice announced that Rich has been selected as the new security analyst in the Computing Center.  A new chair of the Mac OS Support subcommittee will be chosen.

Microsoft Open License Program Change
Mike Wright  announced that changes in the in the Microsoft Open License Program have been made.  Microsoft now uses terms like "software assurance" and "upgrade advantage".  Software assurance is a term that refers to the new academic pricing list- MOLP 6.  Pricing on this new list will become effective February 1, 2002.  Contracts established under this agreement will last two years if a minimum of five products are purchased.  (Microsoft prefers the new software assurance program.)

Upgrade advantage refers to the current, most recently released software.  Pricing for software purchased under this agreement will be effective through January 31, 2002 (for the next 4 months- approx.).  The upgrade advantage agreement will expire when the software assurance agreement begins. 

All faculty, staff and students must be counted in future contract negotiations with Microsoft.  Software used at home must be purchased at current discounted prices. 

XP is being held from distribution at the university bookstore due to registration issues (with Microsoft) and due to issues with the current MOLP.  It was agreed by DCMST that XP should not be released for purchase at the bookstore because it would have to be removed from home machines anyway when Campus Agreement 3 becomes effective.

Pricing lists for both programs (software assurance and upgrade advantage) will be posted on CC2.

Macromedia Site License
Mike Wright asked DCSMT to provide information on who is using Macromedia software and the quantity of each.  He is trying to determine if it would be beneficial to move to a site license agreement.

Microsoft Campus Agreement Payment
Maurice announced that the Computing Center will continue to pay for the MS Campus Agreement using heaf funds.
The Computing Center will analyze usage of the software covered under the agreement and will determine what will automatically be renewed.  Campus departments will need to determine how many copies of each product are needed.  Departments who wish to purchase a separate agreement must purchase products that total 300 points minimum (one point per product).

Draft of Computing Security Policies
Elizabeth Hinkle-Turner reported that the Standards and Cooperation committee is in the process of revising the current security policy (dated 1997).  It is being updated to reflect what has been put into place technologically and to reflect what is in place according to DIR standards.  See Addendum A for changes to UNT Computer Resources Security Policy 3.6, Addendum B for changes to UNT Computer Resources Security Policy 3.7.  Changes to Microcomputer Data Integrity Policy 3.8 will also be made.

Elizabeth asked DCSMT to review the policies and provide feedback.  E-mail comments and suggestions to Elizabeth.

Home Use of McAfee
Maurice Leatherbury reported that only the licenses that are in use can be given away.  Mike Williams is working on getting home use rights that will cover all faculty, staff and students.
