    • Open Issues List
      • TSC Tracker 820: Determine if TSC has a role in review, or process for reviewing, MOUs that are approved by the Board. List of MOUs attached to tracker. How to proceed?
      • TSC Tracker 749: Review the role of the steering divisions
      • TSC Tracker 745: HQ to explore cost of providing secretarial support to the WGs
      • TSC Tracker 1001: TSC Large Customer Partnerships Project Proposal
      • PSS at TSC Tracker 999: TSC Product Visibility Project Proposal
        Feedback on draft “Product Brief” categories and matrix on domains.
        Does this need to be approved as a project? Does the TSC wish to modify the product list before “approving” it? Are we ready to send the Product Brief templates to the appropriate work groups to fill out?
      • PSS at TSC Tracker 998: TSC Project Visibility Proposal
      • PSSat TSC Tracker 997: TSC Work Group Visibility project proposal
    • Three-year plan guideline review
      • Motion tendered and tabled on 2009-06-01 CC: The TSC provide a structure and format guideline for three year plans to the WGs that describes the content detail required for their own project guidance and decision making processes
      • Project Insight proposed modifications to support tracking of three-year planning for projects -
      1. Modify fields within Project Insight. Suggestions include:
        • Project State – Currently an unused field; use ‘Planning’ (three-year-plan) or ‘Active’ (currently in-process) as appropriate
        • Project Status – Currently an unused field; add the items in Ed Tripp’s dropdown list: The TSC discussion indicated a preference not to expect cochairs or facilitators to go into project insight triannually and update the current balloting status of their projects, but to update the spreadsheet with the drop-down options. In the PSC call today, I think it was mentioned that it might be a task that the Steering Division Project Facilitators might perform to update the Project Insight statuses. I will take these options back to the TSC for the conference call Monday.
        • Project Type – modify this field by adding a selection item to identify a project as a 3 Year Plan project – this was a suggestion but probably would not be needed if we used the 'planning' project state to identify those items not-yet-in-progress
      2. Enter approximately 100+ new projects into Project Insight (these would be all of the Work Group’s 3 Year Plan items)
      3. Modify the Searchable Project Database Tool (cannot be done until mid to late August as HQ is booked with work on the new website). So far, the modifications needed would be to pull in the two unused fields mentioned above
      • The majority of the 'projects' (or activities that look like they’re our typical projects) missing PI #s is small. The larger number, and probably no more than a hundred, are 'tasks' that cochairs may choose not to add to project insight but to maintain manually on a three year plan spreadsheet. The project Insight export and the manually maintained list would have to be combined to fully represent a work group’s three-year plan, but many of these tactical tasks are not necessarily things that would be of interest to the audience we’ve targeted for providing visibility to the activities of the Working Group.
    • Nominations for SD reps not sufficient numbers to cover open positions; please promote!
