Speaker(s): Technology Director

Agenda Item Type: Information Item

Discussion:

If the contract and MOU are agreeable, then...
GO to me means that we would preflight our invoices with Jen Utemark to have an expectation of payment and resolve any questions before we would pay out the funds ourselves. The categories of these projects are:

Pass-through to the University, Network Nebraska,
Short software development work on the SSO framework (X-Eqt or Aviture) and broadband speed test agent (ESU 10). We will own the source code for these projects.
Reimbursements for schools and ESUs for their eligible expenses on eduroam installations, Zoom licenses, and other broadband-related items during the period 3/13/2020 - 9/30/2022. Lots to talk about with these. We will need to establish a deadline that works with Deb and Priscilla to be able to process checks before the federal deadline.
