2. Meeting Goals for today:


   - Review minutes/assignments made last week (6/9)
     
       * x4000 Data Entry Form  Bob and Justin have not met on this yet.  
         Brenda reported that 5 more entries were made since her last report.


       * Wiring the "dorms" project.  Bob will follow through with ISD
         on establishing the infrastructure in preparation for wiring the
         residences.  

         Carm talked to Claude Adair (Chipcom) and he estimated $50/tap for
         labor.


       * Moving Wellfleet router to Kellas/Kellas Control Room  Carm 
         estimates that there are about 50 phone lines available for modems
         in Kellas.  The Wellfleet will need 2 pairs for the T1 it uses.  He
         will make a proposal to move the Wellfleet and the campus file
         servers to the "control room" (downstairs of Kellas).  We'll need 
         bookshelves and a filing cabinet to accomodate manuals, etc.  


       * "Dorm Damage Report".  Carm, Brenda and Bob will meet on 6/20
         to discuss this and report on it at the next meeting (7/5).
             


   - SUNYNet weekend coverage.  SUNYNet will be provided with the 
     following list of names to contact on weekends/holidays in the order

3.  What's Important to accomplish by next week?





4.  Status Reports:

    - Establishing a new seed router  Bob contacted Shiva about
      their recommendation on using one of our FastPaths as a seed router.  
      They recommended not using an older FastPath since they
      are not reliable.  One of the Shiva engineers will contact us about
      more specific recommendations.


   - Feedback card ("How are we doing?")    Brenda gave us another
     copy of the feedback card that AT&T uses and suggested we adopt it for
     our own use.  For example, it could be used for customers to tell us
     how we did on an installation; an add/move/change; a repair.  Bob will
     present this idea at the next Supervisor's Team meeting.


   - Shiva LANRover problems/update.  Still down to one (1) LanRover.
     Garnet found one of the modems had a bad setting (port #6).


   - 2Gb drive for News server.  Dave said that he is waiting
     until the new Sun workstation arrives before troubleshooting the 2Gb
     drive.


   - Flagg Classroom update.  Dave reports that IP routing has
     not been implemented yet, but that he and Mike have a plan in place for
     implementing it.



5.  Planning

   - Important goals for 95-96:  (Bob)
