Deployment Group Movements • Discussion - Colleges to stay in current deployment groups (no future changes) • Review proposal language & recommendation to c. ELC for adoption Due to the high risk associated with additional colleges moving to later deployment groups and the inability for colleges to move to an earlier deployment group at this stage in the project, the Steering Committee recommends a moratorium on any future changes to the deployment groups that are currently in place. Motion: The Steering Committee requests that the c. ELC adopt this recommendation and communicate it to all presidents at the WACTC business meeting and follow-up with a communication from the c. ELC co-chairs to the WACTC listserv. 6
