Higher Ed Business Continuity Discussion List

[Rodney Petersen <rpetersen () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

EDUCAUSE has established a Business Continuity discussion list.  More
information including a link for how to join the list is available at
http://www.educause.edu/BusinessContinuityManagementConstituentGroup/124
80  You can also join the list or review and search the archives at
http://listserv.educause.edu/archives/bc.html

The list will provide a forum for strategic and tactical discussions
regarding the ability of institutions of higher education to maintain or
restore business and academic services when some circumstance disrupts
normal operations. Discussion topics may include considerations of
disaster recovery-the activities that restore the institution to an
acceptable condition after suffering a disaster-as well as activities
such as risk and impact assessment, prioritization of business
processes, and restoring operations to a "new normal" after an event. 

The discussion list was requested and created as a follow-up to the
EDUCAUSE Business Continuity Summit held in August 2006.  A Report about
the Summit is available at
http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/CSD4670.pdf

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

-Rodney
