New SURA IT Strategy – Lower Priority
• Video-Conferencing– Let ViDe stand on its own– Focus video conferencing expertise developed
on supporting high priorities
• Middleware– Do not pursue extension of Middleware grant– Focus middleware efforts on grid and
authentication services to support high priorities

Bio-Informatics/Bio-Grid Activities
• INBRE Workshop sponsored by the Development Committee – defer to the Development Committee update
• Focus HPC/GRID group on Bio-Grids• Explore partnership with Southern
Governors’ healthcare and tele-medicine initiatives– Jay Sanders invited to address SURA Board
and discuss collaborations with the IT Committee.
