[dssa] the way forward

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

here's an email to document what we've tentatively decided is our way forward 
through the Toronto meeting.  thanks to all who contributed to this -- it's 
lots better than where we started.  :-)

i've pasted the text of my preliminary work-plan steps into this note and also 
have attached a picture that summarizes things.

please take a look and, if you see something that makes you crazy, let us know. 
 presuming that we're on the right track, we'll start breaking up into 
subgroups next week to kick off the two big pieces of work ("ID roles -- gaps 
and overlaps" and "Identify risk scenario(s) and skills needed for assessment") 
next time.

so start thinking about which of those two things you'd like to work on -- and 
whether we prefer to break into subgroups at all, or would rather just devote 
roughly half of each call to each topic.

thanks,

mikey
