ESINet Steering Committee Discusses Draft Report

On Thursday April 18th, the Emergency Services Internet Network Steering Committee (ESINet) met to receive and begin discussion on the first draft of their recommendation report due to the legislature on May 15th. LR Kimball and Associates representative Evelyn Bailey provided those in attendance with an overview of the contents of the draft they prepared on behalf of committee. Ms. Bailey spoke to the need for an orderly, well planned, pragmatic process to move forward with the implementation of Next Generation 9-1-1 in Ohio.

A copy of the draft report is available by CLICKING HERE. As you review the various sections of the report, please keep the following points in mind:

  • THIS IS A DRAFT REPORT. This is the starting point for the steering committee to begin discussions on various topics as they work towards their final recommendations.
  • The steering committee and two subcommittees will have several meetings over the next three weeks as the final recommendations are developed. GET INVOLVED!
  • All recommendations made by the steering committee are just that, recommendations. The legislature will have the final say in what recommendations, if any, are adopted into law.
  • These recommendations are not the NG9-1-1 deployment plan. Much more work must be done after the regulatory and legislative tasks are completed.

Stay tuned to www.ohioapco.org for updates, meeting notices and possible calls for membership action.
