[dssa] weekly status report
hi all, the end of holiday season for many of us and the conversation is starting to perk up. status is still "all good" but we are arriving at a consensus-call moment that i need to draw your attention to. Greg Aaron posted a note to the list titled "what topics are in-scope, and why" on 5-Sept (http://forum.icann.org/lists/dssa/msg00205.html) that we reviewed on the call this week. there was agreement among people on the call that this was a good framework that enhances and refines the scope portion of our charter. so we decided to invoke our "two call rule" -- we'll revisit Greg's proposal on the upcoming call this week and, if the agreement holds, we'll move Greg's proposal into a brand new pile of documents around which there's consensus. so please review Greg's note again, and join the conversation on the list if you have concerns or refinements. we'll take a run at wrapping the conversation up on Thursday. also take a look at the latest version of the "Threats" mind-map (https://community.icann.org/display/AW/Threats) and note that we've started using this refined view of scope to evaluate which parts of the mind map are in/out of scope. we worked on the "Threats to underlying infrastructure" leg of the map and, if you expand that part of the map in either Adobe or MindManager, you'll see the color-coding that we're starting to use to indicate our choices. Red = out of scope, green = in-scope, light-green="it depends on circumstance" and no color means we haven't decided yet. as usual, i've posted the newest versions of the file to the wiki -- the two that changed this week were the already-mention "Threats" tree and the "Background materials" tree as we picked up a couple more ideas during the call. thanks, mikey Attachment:
