1.   Standards Status Report [M. Zaman/ D. Schultz]

·        See attached report from Malia Zaman.

·        90003 went to ballot; comments received: 75% approval rate Schultz will act as WG Chair for the re-circ, since Duncan had to resign.  The ISO version is still a moving target and may well not be approved until 2009. Our PAR expires in 2008. We will move ahead with our standard.

·        Discussion as to whether or not we want to send all of our standards up to ISO. AR: Croll to convene a separate meeting to continue this discussion.

·        The Agile effort also needs to be picked up since Duncan’s departure. AR: Croll and Schultz to confer with Singer on finding a replacement WG Chair  for this and the current status of the document.

·        Croll reported that the proposal for ISO to divide 15026 into 4 parts was approved.

2. S2ESC Nominations Committee Status [ Walrad, Middleton, Henley ]      

·        New Management Board openings: Walrad has recruited a candidate from Sun, and will try to connect with Adobe in the next few weeks. (She is in the process of moving to San Diego, which curtails volunteer activities.)

3. Liaison Reports

·        DHS:Jarzombek reported that the new Software Assurance documents are out; some are being released for public review and comment.  He will forward copies to the S2ESC.   Note:  These are not DHS guidelines; they represent the output of public-private collaborative efforts to publish relevant material.

·        INCOSE: Randy Case reported that INCOSE has several people on SC7 WGs. He will be at the Summer Plenary to discuss how best S2ESC and INCOSE can work together, especially since INCOSE is not a chartered Standards Developing Organization. They are working on mapping SE standards in order to define an architecture. This effort should be completed this Fall.

·        SEI: Chrissis reported that SEI is now licensing people in the Acquisition appraisal model (CMMi-ACQ).

 

5. S2ESC Mission and Vision [ Walrad ]

·        Walrad presented an updated conceptual chart of the proposed Governance model. It was approved with suggestions for further refinement. AR: Walrad to update prior to the Summer Plenary and distribute to the mailing list.

 

 6. Summer Plenary

·        Harris Corp in Melbourne, FL will host the meetings.

·        Attendees will make their own hotel arrangements, and can use the Harris rate.

·        AR: Croll to send us the map of the 9 Harris locations, identifying the one we will be using, so that we can select appropriate hotels.

·        Croll requests agenda suggestions from all.
