Purpose
At the request of the Texas A&M University System, Texas A&M University Vice President for IT and Chief Information Officer, M. Dee Childs, formed a task force to clarify several parts of TAMUS Regulation 29.01.03.
An evaluation of the regulation was completed by members of the IT Governance - Information Risk, Policy, and Security Committee (IRPSC) in May 2018. This task force will build upon their work with a faculty-centric focus. The original members of the IRPSC who conducted the first review will be included on the task force.
Specifically, the task force will look at section 5.2 and the requirement to consolidate "significant IT equipment" to a centralized data center by September 1, 2019. They will recommend clarifications to the meaning of "Significant IT Equipment" and propose "allowable exceptions" for not moving IT equipment to an approved data center. The task force's work should be complete by September 2018.
