(10 min)Document list

Several participants had amended function list that we seek to refine. Among the discussion points for this list is:

What is the TD role in identifying, managing and/or defining products going forward?
- Action: Ask the Products and Services SI group their view on this.
- Agreed: The TD must have a role in accepting the Products it believes it can execute based on resources, architecture, coherency, etc.
- Long-term, who will define Products?
What is role of TD in re other tasks such as Education, PR, Marketing
What is the relationship of the TD to Supporting tasks -- PMO, Publication, Electronic services, Tools, etc.?
Note: Representation (voting or not) from the two above is essential to TD functioning

For this discussion we worked with a revised version (slide 1) of the preliminary chart created by Craig parker, and two if the charts (slides 2 & 3) prepared by Virginia Lorenzi.
