Governance

1. Approval items:
2. Discussion topics:
   • Filtering on 'tool-enabling' artifacts available to non-members (30 minutes) at TSC Tracker 2585
     • See machine processable artifacts
       • Austin reviewed his changes to the document.
       • Austin: Does everyone agree that the Board should focus on Product Lines instead of technical directions? The Board could assist with how to market product lines instead of looking at individual artifacts.
       • Call participants agreed with the above.
       • Austin: The V2 references XML rendering a profile.
       • This topic is on the Board agenda today; Austin will present the document with his revisions made in the TSC meeting today at the Board meeting
   • Draft metrics for mid-tier governance and management group health. Example attendance metrics for TSC WGH Tracker #2583 (Austin, Calvin)
     • Austin reviewed the Draft Metrics document (linked in the agenda) and walked through each bullet.
     • Listserv activity - Is this a good metric for the Governance/Management group health (not sure how active these listservs are). The group agreed to keep it on the list as there should be limited activity simply to set up meetings.
     • Regarding the Group Rep at Overseer Group WGM - With SD cochairs attending the TSC meeting, the metric would be based on the SD being represented at the TSC meetings, hence if a SD is present, it's counted as 'met'.
     • Regarding the 'Red/Yellow/Green table, one must 'And' the last two columns in the table to get the color in the left column.
     • Next steps: Pilot these metrics for the next trimester cycle
     • Ron: Report that this type of oversight is being implemented to the Board. Austin will provide this information in his TSC report to the Board in an upcoming Board call (it's too late to be done for today's call)
