The meeting began with the administrative items as follows:

 

  1. The attendance was taken.
  2. The draft meeting minutes of December 19th were reviewed and approved.

 

The meeting then moved on to discuss Council business as follows:                         

 

  1. Dr. Lee and Victor Powers updated the Council on the 8(a) SBA status. Victor stated that we are working this issue and that SBA senior management had called again and that additional meetings are to be held and that an update would be presented at the next Quarterly Meeting. Dr. Lee added that the SBA really wants to do this but they are now going through their wickets including SBA Legal.
  2. Victor Powers and Elmer Sembly III reviewed the next Quarterly NITAAC Program Review Meeting schedule. Victor stated that the Review would be held at the Marriott Pooks Hill facility on the 30th and would run from 1:30 to 3:00 for the CIO-SP2, IW2 and ECS2. Then the ECS3 Kick-off meeting will be held from 3:00 To 4:00. This event will be short do to facility constraints but that the review would be broken down into Contract and Financial reviews, BMOCO marketing updates and a discussion on the NITAAC Award efforts.
  3. Elmer Sembly III and June Evans updated the progress on the WTOP NITAAC Hour stating that the first show went very well and that their guess Vance Hitch was impressed with the show and everybody had a great time. In preparation for the show an open dialog took place so each guest could get comfortable with the series of current issues and questions that were asked and answered during the show. It is NITAAC’s intention to have at lease two government officials for future shows. June mentioned that the show would repeat every other week with two new shows each month. The archive button is now activated so shows can be reviewed at the listener’s convenience. The program will be presented at both the up coming NITAAC Quarterly Review and at the FOSE show. The second show taping will be done on January 21st and would cover Bio-Terrorism.
  4. Membership on the IAC was review by Esther Burgess and she submitted a list of active IAC members. It was suggested that new members be selected at the up coming Quarterly Review.  It was then stated that an email would be sent out to all contract holders requesting volunteers for the IAC and that the new members would be announced at the Quarterly Review.
  5. Diane McLaughlin updated the council on the NITAAC Award Committee’s progress stating Debbie May is compiling the Award content for the web site. The Award Committee met before the IAC meeting and reviewed the proposed speakers. Dr. Lee called several candidates and found their schedules to be in conflict with the Award’s date. Howard Ady suggested Jim Flysic (sp) as a draw but Dr. Lee underscored that the candidate had to be a real strong candidate for people to come to this year’s event. Melissa Chapman and Mark Foreman names were mentioned. It was also recommended that Mike Casuie could MC the Award Show adding to the draw with the chosen top-billing speaker. Diane stated that the goal was for 20 tables and that incentives were being worked on to help sell whole tables. A review of how many table tops and costing was underway by Beverly Doukwah. The guest speaker will be selected by COB Tuesday and will be announce at the January 30th Quarterly review. A goal for all other Award final decisions would also be made by the 30th.
  6. The status on NITAAC contracts was reviewed:

·         CIO-SP2             194 TOs processed = $449M Base, $2.2B including options

·         IW2                   171 DOs processed = $21M;

30 TOs = $13M Base, $10M with options

·         ECS3         No statistics were available, but the contract was being used.

7.      Elmer Sembly III stated that since the running of the HLS Symposium series the    BMOCO office had be heavily involved with Congressman Kurt Weldon and have talked about the IT  2458 bill submitted that would give States access to the NITAAC GWAC like contracts cutting down on federal paper work. The GSA is also stepping out on this effort.

  1. The next meeting will be held on February 20, 2003.
