MC Sub-Committee for Workplanning:

Recommendations ReportChair/presenter: Paul Laurent

Purpose

To fulfill the MC’s requirement to:Provide guidance to the Plenary on the broad objectives envisioned by the NSTIC, produce work-plans to prioritize work items and monitor progress, ensure that Steering Group work activities align with the NSTIC Guiding Principles (IDESG ROA, section 2.2)

The Subcommittee discussed and reviewed committee workplans, charters, IDESG foundational documents, and the NSTIC in order to:

Identify priority work activities for the steering group

Determine the status of current work items

Identify a core set of strategic objectives to drive priority activities through plenary during 2013

Approach

The SC implemented an approach designed to make a distinction between jurisdictions of committees and the work output of activities The figure below captures this distinction and the relationship between the concepts.

Recommendations

The SC has developed three sets of recommendations that address:

IDESG Priority Objectives - What must the IDESG accomplish in 2013?

Priority IDESG Activities – What activities are necessary to achieve our Objectives?

IDESG Structural Issues - Is the current Committee structure appropriate for achieving the IDESG’s goals?

Recommendations: IDESG Priority Objectives
