- PhysIT staff are the Network Administrators (NetAdmins) for the network these services run on to connect to the campus backbone and internet.
- VLAN 1902
- Any IT security incident will be sent to us, as NetAdmins. Clearly that information needs to then go to the Local Support Provider, who is "An individual with principal responsibility for the installation, configuration, security, and ongoing maintenance of an IT device (e.g., system administrator or network administrator)." Definition is from 5.4.1, Security of Information Technology Resources:
PhysIT is not available to provide extensive consulting on these services, since that lies outside of our responsibility, per our agreement with John Miner. However, we are willing to meet to discuss what we would consider or be concerned about if we were responsible for these services, and provide some initial direction to Physics, if so desired.

Oliver's recommendation:
- Look at options and decide how to sustain. One efficient way to do this (at least for the web sites) is to have the stakeholders consult with CIT's ATC.
- The ATC site states, "Academic Technologies offers services such as non-intensive website support and hosting." And it's free.
- As part of looking at options, characterize the purpose the present sites serve.
- Whatever is decided, clarify any obligations for those hosting and maintaining the site. Ensure fair remuneration to sustain the site as-is and/ or migrate it as appropriate.
- Consider informing Tricia (A&S Communications) so they are at least aware of the need, and especially as it might relate to the current departmental Physics site and it's proposed future.
