What we're working on now is a lower-level guideline / standard or whatever you care to call such a document. Its purpose is to identify specific categories (and occasionally specific products) that are restricted, possibly prohibited, and would require authorization to install / use.
it would seem to me that approaching this issue with teh idea of talking about specific programs is teh wrong approach - it will not scale and will be hard to keep up to date for admin users I would suggest just saying that all software added to a machine must be OKed by a supervisor (this will not work for researchers & students) Scott ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/.
