#*resourcing management of change - McCay indicated that this is architectual vs governance architecture and feels this is likely a two-day-a-week project.  While this is likely not a volunteer effort we need to find a funder for this work.  McCay suggested that John Quinn articulate this as a risk when he reports on this project. Love suggested this might be accomplished by three-days-a-week effort by the TSC analyst with additional resourcing from volunteers or others.
