Where does the ring terminate now?
            Are the current sites of termination appropriate?
            Where should the ring run?

  1.)    We know that the state of the physical fiber is poor and replacement is inevitable.  How that will be done is unknown.
  2.)    I don't know the path of the fiber, I would like to see a map.
  3.)    Once we have a map, a determination of appropriate site location should be done.  Things have changed in 20 years.
  4.)    A good working cost number should be obtained to start a budget conversation.
  5.)    I need a starting list of people with budget authority to engage so that the funding mechanisms can be discussed.

The first meeting of 2015. I would like to address the replacement of the cable to form a recommendation to the people in control of the finances. So I think that answers to following is a good place to start: Where does the ring terminate now? Are the current sites of termination appropriate? Where should the ring run? With the answers to these three questions, we can begin to formulate a estimate of cost for the bean counters.

However that happened, I look forward to serving. Here's what's on my radar, if there are other topics that need to be addressed please speak up: 1.) We know that the state of the physical fiber is poor and replacement is inevitable. How that will be done is unknown. 2.) I don't know the path of the fiber, I would like to see a map. 3.) Once we have a map, a determination of appropriate site location should be done. Things have changed in 20 years. 4.) A good working cost number should be obtained to start a budget conversation. 5.) I need a starting list of people with budget authority to engage so that the funding mechanisms can be discussed. Once we have this information, we can start a project development and get the ball rolling. I'm looking at 2/18, 2/20 or 2/27 for possible meeting dates. Comments please.

I also tried to contact him earlier this week to see if and where the Feb meeting would be. But I haven't heard back from him. Jim has the list address, so hopefully we will hear from him soon...
