Minutes - California K-12 High Speed Network

Barbara presented a request by CISC to have four (4) official members of the permanent ACC. A
discussion regarding ACC membership ensued.
John I. reviewed the current membership model as approved by EMT. The EMT reinforced their
responsibility to appoint members in order to achieve the necessary and appropriate balance of
committee membership.
Ron suggested that CISC have an official member chosen by the EMT from a roster of official
CISC nominations. CISC could submit the names of 3 or 4 individuals they would like to have on
the committee, from which the EMT appoints one (1).
The model was discussed and approved by consensus as the model to be used for all important
stakeholder groups.
Paul suggested EMT go ahead and solicit nominations from the Small School Districts
Association, CISC, ACSA, and IHE and appoint an official member from each. The EMT discussed
and agreed by consensus. John and Barbara will contact other groups after discussing with
CISC.
The group discussed the importance of each member of the ACC having clear expectation and a
process to communicate within their regions and stakeholder groups. John and Barbara will
draft a process and distribute to EMT electronically for discussion. The process will include
minimum expectations of a member regarding communications to the groups or regions they
represent.
Ron suggested a map of CA to facilitate finding a person’s “local representative” on the ACC.
Todd will task staff to develop.
Ron inquired about term of service for ACC members. EMT agreed membership terms are to be
for 2 years, beginning July 1 of 2005. Barbara and John will draft specific language to outline
the protocols regarding membership terms.
Todd emphasized the importance of the ACC’s work in the next few months.
