lla. Describe your progress meeting each major activity/milestone approved in the Baseline Report for this project; any challenges or obstacles encountered and mitigation
strategies you have employed; planned major activities for the next quarter; and any additional project milestones or Information.
Milestone activities: Existing state employees continue to work on SLIGP, the broadband enterprise architect, SWIC and budget administrator. We were able to hold a public safety
work group sessions that was part of the Office of Emergency Communications- Technical Assistance program for emergency responder stakeholders. We also participate in the
State of Wyoming's- PSCC (Public Safety Communications Commission) and give them FirstNet updates. We had five individuals attend the FirstNet western workshop in Phoenix,
AZ., representing State of Wyoming ETS-technoiogy-broadband, homeland security, fire, police and county commissioners.
We have created a FirstNet for Wyoming, Googie +community, as a single point of information reference for our statewide emergency responders. This is intended to begin
outreach and education, starting with our public safety work group of 25 individuals, until county visits are scheduled.
Participate in the Western States collaboration and meetings because of similar rural issues, and meet with them biweekly.

We are relying on State of Wyoming public safety work group and our existing user information from our land mobile radio (LMR) system to determine potential National Public
Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) users. The SWIC is compiling information on current LMR users.
Governance structure is taking shape and will be vetted for CIO approval in Q4.
11b. If the project team anticipates requesting any changes to the approved Baseline Report in the next quarter, describe those below. Note that any substantive changes to the
Baseline Report must be approved by the Department of Commerce before implementation.
We anticipated contractual staff to be hired, but still TBD. The State of Wyoming will work with dedicated staff resources before hiring contractual staff.
llc. Provide any other Information that would be useful to NTIA as It assesses this project's progress.
Most of our work this quarter again focused on education for the SLIGP project team. We also held initial OEC broadband planning and technical assistance workshop. The State of
Wyoming now has access to CASM and have scheduled training session with OEC on how to best utilize this tool.
lld. Describe any success stories or best practices you have Identified. Please be as specific as possible.
The SPOC and SWIC have a very strong working relationship and both bring important networking/communication skills to the project. While Wyoming's small population and large
geographic areas will cause challenges in future coverage areas, it is currently an asset for outreach to stakeholders statewide. These two positions continue to leverage
relationships, are both champions for this cause and are using this ability to reach out quickly to state/city/county contacts.
We continue outreach to the State of Wyoming's public safety working group members, to encourage attendance and participation.
We continue to provide information about SLIGP at these meetings and want members to be engaged with the grant program.
We have had meetings with our state financial team so SLIGP team members are updated with the SLIGP budget.
