Some are <br /> essential in building a solid foundation for electronic communication and information use and <br /> sharing and should be undertaken as soon as possible so that later automation enhancements can be <br /> implemented more easily, more rapidly, and less costly. <br /> The Task Force would like to thank Dick Taylor especially for his fine work in staffing the <br /> committee during its weeks of deliberations. The Task Force would also like to acknowledge and <br /> thank the report's principle author,John Smith, of UNC's Computer Science Department. Finally, <br /> the Task Force would like to thank the Orange County Board of Commissioners once again for the <br /> opportunity to review and comment upon the County's Strategic Automation Plan. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charles Antle Systems and Procedures, UNC-CH AIS <br /> Lisa Bartles Director of Instructional Technology, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City <br /> Schools <br /> Bill Boyarsky Senior Analyst Programmer, Medical Center Information, Duke <br /> University Medical Center <br /> Joel Dunn Director, Systems& Communications, UNC-CH AIS <br /> Nancy Feder Systems Librarian, OAO Corp. at National Institute of Environmental <br /> Health Sciences <br /> Russell Goff MIS Director, Wake County <br /> John Gullo UNC-CH Institute of Government <br /> Doug Noell MIS Director, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools <br /> Lee Rafalow IBM <br /> Tony Rail Lockheed-Martin at USEPA <br /> John B.
