Additional Notes - For those at 11/16 meeting, please send Chris any comments on the draft Broadband Expansion Tools for Communities document by December 10th.
- We will learn the status of our UW-Eau Claire student proposal for assistance with developing the Broadband Fact Sheets in December. 20 proposals were submitted, so there is a chance our project will not get selected by the students.
- Next Implementation Group meeting will be scheduled for February. Look for a Doodle poll in mid-to-late January.
