RPM Working Group status report on its Council-approved data collection exercise
by Mary Wong Aug. 15, 2018

Aug. 15, 2018

Dear Councilors, Please find attached the first report from the RPM Review PDP Working Group, summarizing where things stand with the extensive data collection effort that the Council approved in September 2017, for the Sunrise and Trademark Claims RPMs. You may recall that the Council’s approval also expressly requested monthly reports beginning in January 2018. As the Request for Proposal was issued at the end of January, with interested potential vendors beginning to engage in February, the report consolidates the January and February activities. It also includes the full RFP timeline. Please let staff or the current Working Group chairs (Kathy Kleiman and Phil Corwin, cc’d on this email) know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you! Cheers Mary

Re: [council] Interim Tools for Remote Participation
by Michele Neylon - Blacknight March 29, 2018

Nathalie Thanks for the update. For anyone who hasn’t used webex previously I’d recommend you download the client software in advance, as depending on your connection speed it could take a few minutes to get down and installed the first time you run it. It’s not the same interface or experience as you get with Adobe Connect, but it’s perfectly fine and is very common in a corporate environment.
