    2. Look into adding a Zip Code / Area Code validation check in the Permanent & Mailing address sets

    3. Add ability to create a rule in the Administrator that would allow the colleges to identify criteria that should move the application directly into the suspension folder (spam filter) or prevents it/whitelist).

Pending & Unresolved Issues

Other Action: Check with the new OpenCCC PM on which version of ReCAPTCHA will be used in the new OpenCCC system to combat robots and other bad actor technology. Colleges wants to know whether our current is too outdated to be effective?) Is OpenCCC redesign planning to include an updated version?  Which tool and which version will be used?  Why do we not have one in the Application?  Get history on this and inform the group.

Need CO support convincing colleges that spammers are attacking colleges that are providing free .edu emails, Google Apps/storage, and MS software (Office365)
