Minutes

• Agenda review
  • CDAMG co-chairs will be voted on this Friday; one (Brett Marquard), if voted in, will have a dual position in the methodology group and the management group. Lorraine: precept says you can't be on management and governance. Austin: Proposing that Brett steps down from being a Structured Docs cochair with a transition period over the course of the next year. Group sees this as reasonable. Will need to be proposed to the TSC.
    • MOTION to recommend to TSC that Structured Docs be given through the end of the 2018Sep WGM to replace Brett Marquard who has taken on the cochair role of the CDAMG: Austin/Calvin
    • VOTE: All in favor
  • Discussion over Austin's roles next year when he becomes TSC chair. Reviewed precept. Austin will step down as SGB chair when he becomes TSC chair. Unaware of any other precept violations that won't be resolved by January WGM.
• Approve Minutes of 2017-10-25_SGB_Conference_Call
  • Discussion over call with Tooling last time. Issues remain that, while not covered by the SGB, should be covered by someone (likely TSC). Perhaps EST should be an advisory group. Lorraine notes that there will be tooling work coming down from the board initiatives. Calvin: Is the role of this group too narrowly defined in an organization that is changing its nature? Paul: If the board is going to set strategic direction for the organization, the rest of the organization needs to understand what that direction is and who is responsible for what. It would be useful to be clear on who is mandated to deliver those goals. Lorraine: Should be reflected back into the business architecture. Paul notes that original risks identified by TSC have largely remained unaddressed. Lorraine: In ARB, it was noted that more and more things are brought from outside, instead of encouraging people to come in and develop it inside. Discussion over previous decisions regarding the endorsement of external standards.
  • MOTION to approve: Calvin/Austin
