1. A single item prompted the calling of this special meeting--an ITM-Proposed new BS in Cloud Computing and co-terminal pairing, to be delivered via the online Coursera platform, with financial support from Coursera.  (Trygstad, Christensen).

This was the first reading of this proposal, and the plan is to vote on it at the first regular Spring meeting of the UGSC on 1/24. There was extensive discussion about numerous aspects of the proposed program, but overall consensus seemed positive.
