1. An increase in the number of personnel at the WCED Head Office since its inception and advances in telephone technology have made it necessary to replace the Head Office telephone system which services the offices in the Grand Central Towers and Sanlam Golden Acre buildings.
2. The installation and commission of the new telephone system will be carried out during the festive season while the majority of the Head Office personnel is on vacation leave, and will commence on 18 December 2006 and be completed by 17 January 2007 when schools re-open.
3. In view of the size of the project and the number of telephone extensions to be linked to the new telephone system, it is possible that personnel will experience interruptions and breaks in telecommunication.
4. Should any personnel experience telecommunication problems after the installation of the new telephone system has been completed on 17 January 2006, they are requested to report it immediately to the Section: Telephone Services at extensions 2792, 2793 and 2794 so that the problem can be attended to.
5. The content of this minute must be brought to the attention of all concerned. Any enquiries regarding the content of this minute may be directed to Mr DH Rossouw at 021 467 2793.
