In the event that an OPLIN participant as defined by O.R.C. 3375.64(B)(1) merges or consolidates operations with another OPLIN participant and is no longer governed by an independent board of trustees, that entity will no longer qualify as an OPLIN participant and the OPLIN-provided Internet connection must be terminated. In order to allow time for a transition to a new Internet connection, however, OPLIN will maintain the existing connection for a period of 90 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Upon request from the board of trustees governing the newly composed OPLIN participant, or its designate, the OPLIN Board may agree at one of their regular meetings to extend this period for an additional 90 days.
Adopted by the OPLIN Board on October 8, 2010
