Goals and Objectives:

• IP Policy Update
• Work Group Updates

Henry stated that the goals for the call were to get an update on the IP Policy, to get work group updates from the Magnetic and Procedural groups and discuss the Farecard Procurement Procedures document.

• Revised IP policy sent to those who commented.
• S&B’s comments are resolved
• There are potential unresolved comments from ERG and Cubic.
• APTA is striving to send policy out for recirculation ballot by the end of the week

Dave Phelps stated that the IP policy was revised based on several comments received and was sent out to commenters for review. Dave stated that APTA received a comment from Cubic stating the need for an internal meeting. Lisa Bucci of S&B had asked if the revised policy was identical to that which APTA discussed with their lawyer. It is, and so it looks as if S&B’s comments are resolved. There has been no closure on ERG’s comments. Dave anticipates sending the policy out for the recirculation ballot this week.

Any additional comments on the Farecard Procurement Procedures document Must be provided to Paula Faust by COB May 26.

Walt Bonneau’s specific comments should be submitted asap.

Paula will resolve comments and re-send revised document and comment resolution form asap. The Committee will discuss and potentially call a vote on the next conference call.

Tim reported that the Farecard Procurement Procedures comments are in the process of being resolved by Paula Faust and Kevin Fehn.

It was noted that an old version of the comment resolution form was sent out for the meeting.

Alex asked what type of document the Farecard Procurement Procedures is. Anita stated that it is a guideline. Alex asked that this be included in the document. Paula Faust was not in possession of the four document types. Tim will send this to her. Alex also asked if the comment resolution period is at the committee level. The response was that it is a committee-level review.

Walt asked if there was still time to comment as he saw two issues to be resolved. It was stated that the comment period was closed. After some discussion, the final resolution was to allow members to provide comments to Paula by COB May 26 and that Walt should submit his comments asap. Paula will resolve comments and submit to Tim for distribution. The document will be discussed and hopefully called to a vote on the next Fare Media Committee call.
