   1. Working on Decision making practices and there is a new version of the DMP. Key points is adhoc adding a member, participating in TSC meetings for observers/Guest, simular to Board but less formal. Approved TSC SWOT and is now posted. 3 year plan is has begun. There was a project from HITSP/SOAA - implementation Guide for localization was passed. The one that did not pass did not pass was the one on Ontology. Concern about Work Groups not meeting in Rio. It could be an issue. TSC is concerned about the impact of those WGs not meeting.

   1. Ken motion to approve, second by Andy.
4. Achieiving effective WGM meetings for WG - how chairs should evaluate?
   1. Lets review the Kyoto questionaire
      1. We did talk about effective quorum and agreed this was not the approriate. We will move this issue to the next SD meeting in two weeks. We will have the Kyoto Questionaire. Lynn took action item to get the questionaire. We think it was on-line. Lynn will check survey monkey.

   1. Group health is handed out and includes explinations there was a great deal of discussion and are the explaintion good, and are the issues acuraute measures.
   2. PIC did not have projects and it now will have projects. Should active projects be a tooling for measuring WG active. Need the WG's to sort out their projects. We need to figure out a way to measure "active projects". It appears that the
   3. SWOT/3year plan - Since these are brought forward to the SD for review and approval we can assume that they are good and approriate to the WG.
   4. Online presences - minutes, gforge and Wiki - making sure that any minutes are posted since the last work group meeting. Did they have meetings and did they post meetings is the measurement. We suggest Agenda's and minutes. We think the minutes must be posted on the wiki and minutes. We are not saying the Agenda is not part of the minutes. Is there a wiki yes/no. We think the measure is important. Project Services was pushing back but they now have a wiki now.
      1. gForge presences - we do not see this as a fair measure for the WG's of this SD.
   5. Listserve activitiy - Activity since the last WGM. Seems important. We were surprised by the number of people on the listserve for various WG. Put in the number members and the number of messages tracked as informative information to the report for this SD.
      1. Action item: Tooling should develop education for some of the tools they are promoting.
      2. Action item: Lynn will need to check to see if she can harvest the number of messages over a period of time.
