1. Decision was made not to attend the State Chancellor's steering committee meeting June 30thS
   1. State Chancellor's office informed us prior to the meeting that there would be no time to discuss our issues
   2. Instead, a subcommittee will be formed at a future date.
   3. Will not fit in our timeline
Decision was made by ETS and ISO to design an intake form in-house
1. The form needs to have a common look and feel for both colleges 
2. It needs to reside in the college's webpages
3. It will gather a small amount of  bio data for an intial search in Banner
4. It needs to work well with the future platform (Omniupdate) for both colleges
5. The captured data needs to be secure and able to interface with Banner
6. Plan is to have Omniupdate install their forms module that utilizes a secure MySql database
2. Sunapsis e-forms will be created for the rest of the application information  
   
   
3. Timeline:
   1. Production Sunapsis installation has been completed

   2. Working on the installation test instance (Waiting for PO for the SQL server database and ColdFusion)
