Things We Really Worried About
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Security (Remember http://hotmail.com?)
Privacy (Google Buzz? Facebook... Nooo!)
Data mining / advertising
Jurisdictional Issues (Patriot Act + FIPPA, etc)
Loss of Control (Ownership of data, config,
ability to administer and audit system, etc.)
Accessibility (Partial compliance???)
Hidden Costs
Vendor Stability, accountability, and ongoing
competitiveness of their services
Things We Were Told
"Whether you have the Patriot Act or not - it
doesn’t matter. There will always be law
enforcement methods and techniques that will
access certain types of information here, there
and everywhere."
- Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy
Commissioner of Ontario
http://www.slaw.ca/2011/02/26/commissionercavoukian-says-the-patriot-act-is-nothing/
Things We Were Told
"Canadian authorities can get information in the
US without a warrant and American authorities
can get information in Canada without a
warrant"
(Interception of Email in Canada w/o warrant via ministerial authorization under the National
Defence Act, Secret court to authorize access to any data via "production orders," and mutual
legal assistance treaty between Canada and the US (and other countries.))
- David Fraser, Canadian Privacy Lawyer with McInnes
Cooper
http://blog.privacylawyer.ca/2011/02/ryersonuniversity-looks-to-cloud.html
Things We Were Told
"What you should concern yourself with is the
kind of accountability that you will be able to
maintain if your Email systems go into the
cloud."
- Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy
Commissioner of Ontario
http://www.slaw.ca/2011/02/26/commissionercavoukian-says-the-patriot-act-is-nothing/
Things We Read
"The organization shall use contractual or other
means to provide a comparable level of
protection while the information is being
processed by a third party."
- Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act (PIPEDA)
http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/P-8.6/page-16.
html
Educational Security Incidents (ESI)
“On college and university
campuses, sometimes the
free flow of information is
unintentional.”
- Adam Dodge

What We Think at this Stage
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Google's Security is significantly better than ours
No Data Mining or Ads for Faculty, Staff, Students
FIPPA does not prohibit foreign hosting
Privacy can be protected in the cloud
Google does not own your data and says so
Improved Accessibility (thanks http://www.nfb.org)
Ryerson configures and administers the system
Your Email address does not change
It's greener (more efficient power / cooling)
You can use Rmail if you really don't want Gmail
and more...
Goal: Collaboration Platform for Everyone at Ryerson
E-mail, Calendaring, Document Collaboration, Web
Sites, Groups, Instant Messaging and Presence,
Video Chat, etc.
● Students (undergrad and graduate): 32,313
● Continuing Education Students: 54,721
● Faculty: 2,273
● Staff: 5,045
● Alumni: 58,919
● Visiting scholars, contractors, guests: 1,000
Large and diverse population with diverse needs
●
Request for Proposal
●
●
●
Purchases over $100,000 require public competitive
bidding.
Even if you sign up for a free service but think you
might need to purchase things later. (i.e. more
storage.)

50 Pages, Spreadsheet of feature questions (74),
and Pricing Matrix
Request for Proposal – Microsoft, Google, etc
●
●
●
●
Nothing else we've seen is as capable as Google
and Microsoft's services.
Google vs Microsoft – It's a wash except for cost.
Microsoft charges for Faculty and Staff document
sharing and collaboration. Charges are substantial!
Google Won.
Request for Proposal – Hosting in Canada
●
●
Hosting everyone in Canada – HUGELY Expensive!!
Only Faculty and Staff in Canada – still millions!
Question: if cloud security, privacy, etc, are good
enough for Ryerson students, corporations, and
governments, then why not for Ryerson's faculty and
staff?
Question: why does anyone think CCS are miracle
workers and can do it all for less?
DRAFT Recommendation
●
Full Text:
http://email.blog.ryerson.ca/
●
For your review
●
●
●
●
Should we do this?
Are we missing something?
What do you think?
Let's talk about the draft recommendation...
In a Nutshell - 1
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Google Apps For Education
No Data Mining & No Ads
Keep [email protected]
Provide Rmail opt out
Better Security
Privacy risks: no worse over all better protected
If we tried to do all this in house for everyone, it
would cost tens of millions.
In a Nutshell - 2
●
●
●
●
Fair Notice: Your data will reside in foreign
jurisdictions and will be subject to the laws of those
jurisdictions, including the Patriot Act.
Enables you to make an informed decision about
messages to send via Gmail and the information you
store with Google.
Faculty and Students may elect to use Rmail instead
of Gmail but you can't have both.
You need to make informed decisions what you
send via Rmail or Gmail.
