PerformancePerformance
• Targets for delivering specifications after each TSG meeting consistently being met:– 90% delivered within 2 weeks– 100% delivered within 3 weeks
• Error rate static at 0,3% (or 3 errors in 1000 implementations)
• All regular WG meetings being supported (even using substitution for collocated meetings)
12
PCG15_11
ResourcesResources
• MCC Resources for 2005 have been reduced (below the budget allocation)
• Rationalization results in 0,5 expert saving• One MCC Assistant now working 80%• Resources are now at the minimum level
without imposing a degradation of service• Support sought for the 2006 Budget request to
enable service continuity
13
PCG15_11
Problems (1)Problems (1)
• IT services at TSG/WG meetings are provided on a “best effort” basis
• Provision of service is executed by TSG/WG Secretaries on a goodwill basis
• Delegate expectations are higher due to experiences in other bodies where professional support is provided (eg OMA)
• Internet access is a particular problem• Any tangible increase in service level implies budget
increase• PCG advice sought!

Problems (2)Problems (2)
• Many WGs are now holding collocated meetings • Such meetings become very large and
introduce logistic challenges• Collocation of groups reduces the possibility to
reuse MCC experts
15
PCG15_11
ConclusionsConclusions
• MCC functioning well • Staff/experts turnover at a consistent level (at
around two experts per year)• Resources now trimmed to the limit• Service level being maintained• Some frustration in not being able to deliver the
IT service level expected from the community• Working environment remains healthy and
conducive to high output
