Management

  1. Review action items –
  2. Approval items:
  3. Discussion topics:
    Paul and Lorraine join
    • Tooling Dashboard (Andy)
      • Andy notes the Tooling WG perceived the Tooling Dashboard project as part of an request by TSC and tied to ES project for WG dashboards. There has been no work on the project in some time and its status has been 'on hold' for over a year. Tooling wishes to know if the TSC wants Tooling to keep the project or not.
      • History of dashboard requests reviewed and discussion on ES and other work groups' roles. General agreement was expressed that this does not need to be kept on the books.

Governance

  1. Approval items:
    • TRAC governance point on project scope deadline - Pat not available; roll forward
  2. Discussion topics:
    • CMET balloting approach - Report from Harmonization (Beeler) (10 minutes)
      • Publishing, MnM and other participants discussed at Harmonization. Initially MnM balloted all CMETs with source managed by WG. Some years ago their responsibility was dispersed to WGs. All CMETs for a different domain will be balloted as a package. If a CMET changes it is balloted with the entire package for the domain with the others marked as out of scope. This will have fewer ballots than if each CMET is balloted individually and more simple than combining domains in a ballot.
      • Austin notes that going forward we would be reporting these domain packages to ANSI instead of the huge rollup package recently reported. We've lacked clear documentation of the process in the pass - it would be good to have it documented and distributed in San Antonio. ACTION ITEM: Andy and Woody will develop process documentation for endorsement at the Saturday meeting and review for endorsement on the Monday cochairs agenda. Austin asks that they include the flow in swim lanes on responsibilities for governance, management and methodology. Woody moves and Andy seconds adoption of this approach. Unanimously approved.
    • GOM Revision Cycle 1309 Peer Review 11/27 - 12/26/2013 email attachment
      • WI1309007 on T3SD WG co-chairs reviewed. This would change the Board liaison co-chair as selected from within the T3SD WGs not appointed by the Board chair. No changes were identified.
      • WI1309008 Add co-chairs to GOM peer review -this change allows sending peer review notifications to the cochairs list, e.g. for sections that directly affect the ballot process. Ken moved and Woody seconded the TSC position and feedback comment that cochairs should always be notified for peer review.
      • WI130910 No Candidate for TSC position - this change allows write-ins on the election ballot. No changes were identified. This was changed in response to issues earlier this year. Discussion on acceptance of qualifications for candidates ensued; this may be defined in a different section of the GOM. We might suggest that write in candidates must meet the conditions required for membership in good standing. Freida notes that 9.01.01.03 has such conditions.
      • WI1309006 TSC Chair selection includes ad hoc members for consideration as nomination for Chair. Wording on line 12 still indicates that ad hoc members may not be included to elect the TSC chair. Jean moves to change from line 11 to "The TSC shall elect its own chair from among current members; excluding ex officio members." Discussion ensued whether to remove "or former" from the members eligible for election for chair. Andy seconds the motion with the friendly amendment to restore "or former". Unanimously approved.
    • Ballot quality assessment
      • Austin reviews how the assessment was done, by an objective (statistical) measure and a subjective review team. With Low as zero, medium of 1 and high quality was 2, he did some statistics reviewed in the ballots for mining review-revised-ajk.
      • Conclusion can be drawn that high quality ballots had a low percentage of negative votes. Persuasive line items vs subjective quality was not a very predictive measure.
      • Other validity risks were reviewed with sample size and number of reviewers.
      • One measure proposed was the % of negatives less than 20 making it a quality ballot.
      • Ken asks if the number of ballots not returned versus negative balloters would indicate anything? That figure was not on the ballot spreadsheet so not evaluated, but might be useful notes Austin.
      • Calvin suggests a graph of recent ballot cycles with that measure? Maybe Woody's spreadsheet can be modified. Please consider options and review again next week.

Adjourned 12:00 PM
