2. New VuSpec Standards
Collection

CD-ROM version is very
nice, has hyperlinking within the standards documents, but the links and the
versions of standards included haven’t yet been validated – S2ESC needs to do
this. The problems noted with the assessment tool attached to it should not
delay release of this – it can be released separately.
·
At FTF, we need to
address the issue of whether the “assessment tool” can be salvaged for any
useful purpose for users. This will be on the agenda.
·
SA will send copies via
snail mail to the S2ESC for our review.
(Can we get documentation from the contractor on the mapping of the link
paths? This and any other questions can sent to Zaman prior to the FTF.)
3. Pilot Project
IEEE is considering entering into strategic partnerships with other standards bodies, and would like to use S2ESC as a pilot project. We welcome this opportunity.

this in cooperation with the IEEE, the IEEE CS and the CS Technical Council of
Software Engineering. This is a major
step forward in developing alliances with significant conferences.

Systems and software
engineering standards will be covered by several speakers. There will be a CSDP
tutorial and an opportunity to take the CSDP certification exam,
5. Strategic Planning [Walz]

difficulties getting the proposed nw PMBOK rev up on the web for review. Once
it is available, Walrad will provide a communiqué agreed with PMI for
distribution from IEEE SA for IEEE CS members to participate in the review of
the exposure draft of PMBOK v4, due for publication in 2008. (The mechanisms

of their individual comments.)
