Agenda Reviewed

Review of Interim General Manager's Report

Financials
Presented financial report for December, 2001 and the Revenue Percentage Distribution Report for 2001.

Discussion:
Discussion regarding revenue. Ideally, BMV revenue should be no more than 60% of a mature portals revenue. SOS services like UCC can be up to 20% in a mature portal. Criminal background checks and PayTixx also have good histories of adoption. Online adoption of UCC searches was at 80% in the past month. UCC filings also performing well. Board interested in seeing year-to-year comparisons for financials.

Action: The InforME General Manager modify the monthly report to reflect 2002 revenue percentages broken out by applications adding year-to-date percentages, and a year-to-year financial comparison.

Username and Password Security

Discussion:
NIC states do not have a separate policy outside of the standard Subscriber Agreement language. The Subscriber Agreement puts the responsibility of monitoring account activity solely on subscribers. Concerns were raised regarding the possibility of subscriber employees sharing usernames and passwords with unauthorized people. Board considering implementing policies to deter fraudulent access to data while keeping the level of security appropriate to the data they are accessing.

Suggestions:
· Include examples of ways data can be misused and give a model policy that organizations can use with their own people.
· Require individuals to have unique username and password for higher privacy data like BMV
· Ask for confirmation from account holders periodically to verify that the users listed are still the same people using the passwords
· Have BMV subscribers re-sign the affirmation statement annually
· Remind subscribers that they can monitor the activity of their accounts by username online through the subscriber admin function

Action: The InforME staff will put together a draft reminder statement regarding username and password security and anti-fraud measures for the Board to review.

The Board was presented with the attached documents regarding InforME web design services, hosting services, and technical services.

Discussion:
Discussion involved adding these documents to the standard SLA template and making other revisions including asking agencies to use InforME's Adoption Rate Wizard to report and record adoption rates of online services. It was recommended that all SLAs be made co-terminus with the master contract and that the collections and payment section be changed to reflect the various payment methods InforME currently employs. It was agreed that the documents presented regarding web design, hosting services, and technical services are living documents and that they should be attached as riders on the SLAs only where they apply.
