Re: IM Security?? - Anyone written policies, selected products, got some lessons learned / war stories

[Dewitt Latimer <dewitt () ND EDU>]

nothing other than we're contemplating the same questions and looking into
the feasibility of in-house IM service to complement base-line e-mail, web,
calendaring, etc.

Some concern as to whether the user community would use an in-house IM
service vs. an open AIM, MSN, Yahoo type service (Big Brother phenomenon).
And if so, would we take extraordinary steps to block said services from
traversing our net or accept the notion there is a role for them in an open
learning community.
