In a blog posting, Dave Buchanan, director-state consultation for the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) said that FirstNet officials are pleased with an initial state consultation meeting held Oct. 16 with Washington state representatives. It was the fourth such meeting with a state. “The Washington initial consultation meeting, like the other initial consultation meetings held in Maryland, Minnesota, and Oregon, highlighted the need to engage and establish an open dialogue on where we are with this important work and where we’re headed. Our suggestions are intended to help states like Washington and others better plan their strategy to develop and deliver a sound state plan,” Mr. Buchanan said. “Washington served as our final ‘beta site’ consultation meeting, one of the earlier meetings in this process that we’ll use to establish best practices and procedures to use in future meetings.
