[CCWG-ACCT] A question about WS1 v WS2

Tue Jun 23 02:43:01 UTC 2015

Thank you Kavouss and Jonathan and Jordan.

We need to get our work done correctly AND in a timely manner to enable a successful transition.

I believe we can do both. They are not mutually exclusive.

That is precisely why we agreed to bifurcate our work into WS-1 and WS-2.

Regards,
Keith

Agree with Jonathan
We must concentrate on priority actions
Pls do not involve  us in something which is not pressing . We have littlke time
We do not want to spent hours and hours on these like those hours that we wasted on UA.
We were misled and we do not want to do it again
The working method and priorities must be identified and decided at the level of the main group and not at the level of working parties

Kavouss

Hi Colleagues,

In agreement with Dr. Lisse, we need to get it right nonetheless the
essence of strategy is choosing what not to do. (Michael Porter)
