Management Board [Schultz]
982 – Norm needs to revise the PAR and there is a question as to whether a change to the balloting date will be required.
Status Report attached.
SC7 Liaison [Moore]
The work in support of the IEEE 2001 Internet best practices standard will be transferred. Either Paul Croll or Kathy Land will report SESC willingness to accept development of this standard at the November 5 SAB meeting.
Jim would like to propose the formation of a joint study group to evaluate the harmonization of 12207.1 and 15289 to see if this will satisfy stakeholders: SESC, SC7 WG7, and SC7 WG2. The 12207.1 standard contains outlines/informative lists. Concern was expressed that the harmonization effort might omit these. The point was made that SESC can always adopt harmonized standard with added informative annexes.
Jim suggested appointing an SESC representative to this harmonization effort. Paul suggested polling the members of the executive committee to find a volunteer. Jim was given direction to proceed.
1220 has been submitted as a fast track submission.
Procedure for
Coordination with SC7 [Moore]
No comments received on the SESC circulation of this procedure. Consensus is that the procedure is complete and sound.
SESC Web Page [Henley]
Now have meeting minutes area for meeting minutes. IEEE process at a glance link has also been added. Password protected directory is set up; unfortunately IEEE uses different update procedure for web pages with traffic encryption. Mark has not been able to administer this password-protected area.
Mark is exploring storage limitations for the purposes of a historical repository. So far there have been no storage limitations set by IEEE.
CMMI Mapping [Croll/Jarzombek]
Paul met with SPC for acquisition and distribution of Quagmap tool. Program runs on Windows platforms as either standalone or in a networked configuration. He drafted a memorandum of agreement between IEEE CS and SPC for no cost licensing agreement. This has been distributed to Anne Marie Kelly; she is to report back on the IEEE CS position by Friday, October 11. This agreement has been cleared by SPC.
Agreement attached.
Ted to distribute the completed outline with comments to SESC ExCom by the next telecon. Following approval of this outline, a working group will be formed.
The question was asked regarding either extending or reaffirming 830 (June 23 2003) and 1233 (April 17 2003). These do not expire until 2004; there is sufficient time to move a PAR through NESCOM. Once the PAR is in place, then extension will be requested.
Planning Group on New Markets for Standards
[Schneidewind]
Norm has picked the wireless market area. He contacted Motorola and is awaiting feedback.
Status unclear. There is a meeting in Boston November 5-6 that Paul Croll will attend. The current book series is intended to follow 12207 with 12207 requirements. Each book should be written about a standard.
The stakeholders advisory group is to be targeted key consumers or possible consumers of SESC products. The SAG should be relatively small (15-25 individuals). The SESC users group is for the more general software engineering population. There is also a communication and outreach piece that will be used to support both endeavors.
Claire has begun formulating a list for periodic emails; IEEE hosts the list. This mailing list is part of the communication and outreach piece.
Dennis is awaiting comments; when comments are addressed he will redistribute final draft to ExCom.
Action Item Status and Discussion [Croll]
Action items attached.
Wednesday, 20 November 2002, 1 PM.
Norm offered Monterey; February 12-14, 2003 are the suggested dates. Paul asked Norm to also look into the possibility of starting the meeting earlier in the week.
