John, I can share more offline, but having gone the CIO route already, I still think this group should keep the lead on this. Beyond that, if we can get some champions in high places, that would be great.
Just my two cents. -Lee From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of John Kaftan Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 8:59 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Apple Petition- Continued Our CIO holds a lot of clout with Apple based on previous history. At one point he held the record for the highest purchase order amount ever with Apple. He has worked for some pretty big shops. In 2006 he gave a talk stating why Apple needs to play in the corporate world. I'd be happy to get him involved just tell me who to have him contact. Would that be Neil?

If you recall, Neil stepped up and created both the draft petition and a companion Facebook group, and as a group we gave ourselves a window for comments and input and then said "all done". To move this forward and not discard the efforts and sentiments of this group I offer that we: - Do as several of you suggested and turn this into an online petition - Set a "please sign by" date and then get as many signatures as we can - At a date agreed upon, all forward to our Apple reps, en masse. If anyone has an alternative idea on how to finish this out, please say so.
