No report.  Anticipate written report some time this summer.

 

Quality Management Interfaces [Walz/Duncan]

 

The plan is to begin with 9003 as the baseline document.  Working to procure an editable version of this document.  12207 (reference level) and 1074 (contextual level) are referenced in P&P and should be included as source documents in support of this project.  John Walz has requested that they be given access to the 1074 WG and balloting group membership in order to solicit participation and feedback.  Angela Ortiz will work on providing this requested access.

 

High Integrity Systems [Sparkman]

 

A new member, Mike Waterman, has joined the group.  The group has identified several standards to review and identify gaps that may exist as they relate to high integrity systems.  Paul Croll mentioned the need to coordinate with SC7 WG9 and Paul will be responsible for this liaison activity.

 

S2ESC Web Page [Henley]

 

The web pages have been updated.  Organizational changes have been posted.  On the working groups page, Mark requested an email address for Bob Charette, which was sent by Jim Moore.

 

Mark has not been able to update the secure portion of the website, he needs to reinstall the SSL program.  Planning to remove the link to the standards that is currently there.

 

The name change to S2ESC has been propagated throughout the site.

 

We will need to update Policies and Procedures to reflect the name change to S2ESC.  Because of the CM implications, we decided not to simply ask Mark to make this global change to all the Policies and Procedures.  We will put this on the agenda for Ft. Lauderdale.

No change since last telecon.

 

SE Portal [Lohr]

 

No report.

S2ESC Document revisions [Croll]

 

P&Ps, Plans, and Charter need to be reviewed prior to the August meeting. John Walz will review these and make some recommendations for possible consolidation and policy change.  Paul asked that the S2ESC review these documents and identify suggested changes prior to the August planning meeting.

The per person meeting fee amount is dependent upon the actual number of participants, but is expected to be approximately $30 per person for each meeting day.  Attendees must stay at the hotel, since the fee will be billed as a line item on the hotel bill.  Fewer folks attending will increase the per person fee.
