    1. Nebraska – A lot of state-wide re-organization. Collaboration with Illinois is still going forward. Student privacy is becoming a real issue to the point where there will be a privacy officer in every state. Nebraska is trying to head off any rules and regulations that will effect privacy and access to the internet. They are still looking at a portal system and looking at several vendors.
    2. MCNC – The community college they have been working with has been trying to get a couple of Student Portals up and running. Any changes that need to be made to software needs to be contracted out to a developer. Steve Thorpe is heading this.
    3. UEN – Stalled
    4. WiscNet – will be working more with Aegis - Adding a new staff person (similar to Mark S. position)
