> THE SUPREME COURT OF MINNESOTA
> MEDIA ADVISORY
>
>
> For Immediate Release
>
>
> ST. PAUL, MN (March 15, 2002) � Due to high volumes of expected
> traffic on the state court system website around the time of the
> Special Redistricting Panel�s intended release of redistricting
> plans, Tuesday, March 19th at 1:00 p.m., the State Court Information
> Office is disseminating the following information:
>
>
>
> 1. If no legislative plan has been enacted by Tuesday, March 19,
> 2002, the Panel intends to post its plan on the website at 1:00 p.m.
> under the �redistricting panel� link located on the court system home
> page, at http://www.courts.state.mn.us. On the website, the public
> will be able to retrieve in both Word and PDF formats:
>
> a. The Panel�s orders regarding redistricting;
>
> b. Statewide and Twin Cities area congressional district maps;
>
> c. Statewide and Twin Cities area legislative district maps;
>
> d. Selected maps of metro areas around Minnesota where it is
> impossible to discern the legislative districts from the statewide
> perspective; and
>
> e. Various Maptitude Reports.
>
> Many of these files will be large and may take some time to download.
>
>
>
> 2. At 1:00 p.m., electronic copies of the Panel�s full
> redistricting plans will also be distributed to the Secretary of
> State�s Office and the Legislative G.I.S. Office. Members of the
> public may contact these offices for more information, or may visit
> the Legislative G.I.S. Office site at
> http://www.commissions.leg.state.mn.us/gis/html/redis-list.html to
> utilize interactive software which can produce individual legislative
> district maps and additional reports.
>
>
>
> 3. Given the volume of web traffic expected on the state court
> system website, the State Court Information Office asks for the
> public�s help in ensuring the site stays functional on March 19th.
> �We�re asking for people�s help in avoiding a major web traffic jam,�
> said Valerie Gunderson, Director of the State Court Information
> Office. Those who intend to log in can help keep the site
> functioning by:
>
> Not logging in hours or days ahead of time;
> Not continually hitting �refresh� on the web browser.
>
>
> �Logging in ahead of time won�t help get the information any sooner
> and may actually prevent us from being able to post the plans on
> time,� said Gunderson. �Also, each time a user hits �refresh,� the
> site momentarily seizes. If a large number of people are all hitting
> �refresh� at the same time, the site will freeze up and
> unfortunately, no one will have access to the information.�
>
>
>
> In the event the website becomes temporarily disabled, the Court
> Information Office asks that individual users try logging back on in
> a few minutes. In addition, the public will be referred to both the
> Secretary of State�s Office and the Legislative G.I.S Office as
> alternatives.
