1.   Standards Status Report [M. Zaman]

1.1    Ballot status/issues

See Attachment 1.

             1.2   PAR issues

            1.2.1   P1062 (SW Acquisition) PAR scope [Croll] (see current standard and new PAR attached below) – not approved. PAR is much too Government-focused.  Has been extended until 12/2008.  Jarzombek will see that it is re-worked. Suggestions that several other standards (EPRI, ASME NQA-1:2004, Nuclear regulatory standards) be considered as 1062 is revised.

1.2.2 1420.1 a,b – administratively withdrawn

1.2.3 20001 - extended until 12/2009

2.    P15026, System and Software Assurance, SC7 re-plan [Moore] (Please see Editor's reports and Montreal resolutions 8 and 9, attached below).

SC7 WG7 proposes go back to square 1 and to split this into 4 standards:  Concepts and Vocabulary, Assurance Case, System Integrity Levels, Assurance in the Life Cycle.  S2ESC’s position is that this is counter-productive, in that it will take many years to finish the whole group and make them available, make it harder for people to use, and unnecessarily increase the cost to users to purchase and use the standard(s). S2ESC position is that WG7 should adhere to the original PAR and not split the standard into 4 parts. DoD is also very concerned about the proposal to split it into 4 parts and is meeting now to discuss it.  (Next TAG meeting is March 25 - 27.) Action: Croll to meet with Moore and Redwine to communicate this.

3.    Contributions to SSTC 2008

This year’s conference will be sponsored by the Software Technology Support Center at Hill AFB once again, and re-focus on technology. The CS is approving “in cooperation with” status and will be listed as a co-sponsor. There will be an entire week of standards-related activities, including CSDP training and testing, as well as presentations on standards and practices by Croll, Moore, Land, Costello and others.

Action [Croll]:  FTF agenda item to discuss plans for next year’s SSTC participation.

4.    Strategic Planning [Walz]

a. Walz would like to see WG Chairs create 20 minute podcasts at the completion of their projects to discuss the scope of their standards and how they might be used by practitioners. Action: Schultz volunteers to work this with the WG chairs, with support from S2ESC ExCom. 

b. Re: cancelled IEEE-SA SWE assessment product.  Walz met with Judy Gorman, IEEE-SA Managing Director in December, and she and the staff want to work with Computer Society volunteers and staff on new products and services surrounding our standards.

Action: FTF agenda to include discussion of how we can participate in enhancing the standards product that Marketing had developed to assure that it accurately reflects the appropriate use of S2ESC standards.

Action: Walrad to send Zaman the S2ESC roster mailing list so that she can send the existing product to all for review prior to the FTF.

 

c. S2ESC Strategic Study Groups:

1.      "Mission and Visions" has been meeting and creating drafts.

2.      "WG Chair Package" will start up in Jan08.

3.      "Collection management" and "Liaisons and partnering" need to prepare for F2F meeting on Dr. Peter Hantos contrary views on IEEE/CMMI mis-alignment (my email 31-Oct-07) "Attract and retain qualified, motivated WG members/leaders" will be jump started in Jan08

 

5.    Winter Meeting Planning [All]

Walrad will send out info about the meeting at Google Headquarters Feb 5 – 7 (9:00 am Tuesday thru mid-Thurs): 

1600 Amphitheatre Parkway

Mountain View, CA 94043

Phone: 650-623-4000 | Main Fax: 650-618-1499

 

Attendees can check-in at the lobby of building 42 - the room is Paramaribo Tech Talk 42.  It's company policy to have NDAs signed, so prior to the meeting she will give Holly Benson (Google) your names and email addresses so that she can send out the electronic version.

 

6.    Action item review [All]

Walrad reviewed the actions issued during this meeting and reminded folks that they should update their items in the spreadsheet on sharedinsights.

7. Other

Walrad reported that she has been working with PMI to work out a method for IEEE CS members to participate in the review of the exposure draft of PMBOK v4, due for publication in 2008. The mechanisms agreed on will assure that CS reviewers’ comments are given equal consideration as PMI reviewers, and that CS commenters will be responded to wrt disposition of their individual comments.
