The STEADfast project is a browser plug-in designed to help school districts collect data about the performance of home broadband Internet services and indicate areas of the state where service improvements are needed. This project was started with the development work of ESU 10 using GEER funds earlier. $45,000 remaining ESSER III funding is available to continue development and pilot this software with a school district. We are working out the details of this with NDE and ESU 10. |

3.3. Approve dmarcian Group Purchase to be added to MSA
Speaker(s):
Scott Isaacson
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
The NNNC is requesting that ESUCC assume ownership of the dmarcian contract. This contract is currently utilized by every ESU, except 18 & 19. The cost will be $12,000 per year, with each participating ESU paying their share. Andy Boell is working on a partnership with multiple post-secondary institutions which can help to reduce the cost to all ESUs. Management of this service would be done by a member of the ESUCC technical staff. This is an action item on today's agenda.
DMARC stands for "Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance" and its purpose is to authenticate email from our domains to help people receiving our email to know it is or isn't really from us to reduce spam and security threats through email. The dmarcian platform is a tool to help configure, test and monitor DMARC much more easily than doing the tasks manually. |
