   (Jim Davis; 50 minutes).
   
   Questions to consider:
   
   - Given the implementation of a Technology Infrastructure Fee, are the costs associated with the fee appropriate to the use of the technology infrastructure?  What data does the campus require to fully answer that question? What factors do we want to consider? What data do we need?
   
   - What criteria should be used to measure fee-implementation equity? What criteria should be used for the allocation of costs and resources? By what process do we change the TIF or TIF services?
   
   - How are infrastructure costs being distributed across campus?
   
   - How do we evaluate adjustments and changes to TIF (and TIF processes)?
   
   - How can we model student use?  How do we compare students use to researcher use?
   
   - What metric should be put in place to ensure contracts and grants are charged fairly and legally?
5. Year-end wrap-up.
   (Christine Borgman; 5 minutes).
