Re: [gnso-wpm-dt] Email list - Development of Criteria for Initiating New Projects

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Olga,

In light of what was said this lunch time, I wonder if part of the work of this 
group has not become rather moot.

I would love to have the group's thoughts on this. There was a clear request 
for the leadership of the Council to take a stronger stance on dropping 
projects that are not deemed top priority. I am sure that Olga, Jeff and myself 
are willing to take a stab at this, but this does differ from what was said 
during the weekend sessions when this group was created, which was that we 
would still base our ratings on a model.

As the previous model is unworkable at this stage and needs refinement, perhaps 
this group should focus on that: simplifying the model and making it good for 
Council consumption, while in the interim the leadership team starts to 
prioritize projects on its own as requested by the Council today.

Thoughts?

Stéphane
