DCN Resource Allocation Committee (RAC)
(was IPC)
How Does The RAC Work To Serve The Community ?
This committee is responsible for helping to develop, on the DCN web site, information that is both useful and interesting to the Davis community. The RAC does this by allocating DCN resources to community oriented mini- and major- sponsored-projects.
The RAC reviews project ideas submitted by community members - often representing community groups. DCN is the "carrier" of information resulting from this assistance it is not the "publisher" and does not edit sponsored- or mini-project web pages or other activities.
The RAC also makes certain resources available specifically to local nonprofits.
How Might The RAC help You?
Do you belong to a local organization that could benefit its members more efficiently and effectively if it had:
- a web page
- an automated E-mailing List
- a web calendar for your organization
If so, your organization might want to consider applying to the RAC for assistance to get your idea started.
The RAC can authorize certain resources to be used by groups who apply for Sponsored Project status. A formal application is required (see below.) Some resources are made available indefinitely without charge while others need to be time-limited and will ultimately involve a monthly fee. For example, courtesy dial-up accounts, at the end of the project period, must usually be converted to regular dialups with a monthly fee paid to Omsoft.
