•	TG 3 would like to host a meeting of committee in March at Indian River State College and Jacksonville to update and finalize curriculum frameworks and discuss industry changes in June.  
 Task Group 4 
Chairperson: Judson French 
•	Further discussion is needed with the IT Cluster Chair for input, coordination and review of Game and Simulation, Multimedia, New Media, Web Design, and Graphics Technology frameworks to determine crossover and linkages with other programs. 
•	Investigate move of Telecommunications Career Path to IT Cluster for review
•	Work with IT Cluster’s for input, coordination and review of Game and Simulation, Multimedia, New Media, Web Design, and Graphics Technology frameworks.
•	Discussion has taken place between the IT Cluster Supervisor for input, coordination and review of Graphics Technology frameworks to determine crossover and linkages with other programs. 

•	Relative to the current placement of the Graphics Technology AS/AAS program (0650040200) in the IT Career Cluster, Duane Hume Supervisor of the IT Cluster  supports reassigning that particular program and its associated certificate programs to the Arts, A/V Technology Career Cluster. After reviewing the curriculum frameworks for this program, the standards align very closely with programs in the Arts cluster programs that feed into it. There is no logical talent stream from the IT programs into the Graphics Technology AS/AAS program. 

•	Would like to propose to the Steering Committee reassignment of the program to the Arts & A/V cluster.
