[CWG-Stewardship] Forward Planning Draft

[Gomes, Chuck]

Andrew,

Do you think that DT-A should stop on 26 May and the CWG should pick up where they leave off and the full CWG come up to speed on what they have been doing?

I don't see how it is possible not to, if there is any hope of having something available for people to read before the Buenos Aires meeting.

The last time the CWG continued to have major items still in flight up until the last minute, it released for public comment a draft proposal with really enormous lacunae in it.  It is really hard to say anything intelligent about a proposal where major details are still incomplete.

In Singapore, the idea was that the DTs were to be "agile" and lightweight and return to the CWG in a week or two at most.  In agile, a key element is that you are time boxed.  You get done what you can get done by the end of the sprint.  If you can't get done by the ship date, then you cut features.

My ex-wife used to tell her undergraduates, "I don't want the best paper you can write in any possible world.  I want the best paper you can write, in this world, by the deadline."  I think it is time we accept we are out of time, and to turn in our work as it is.  

(BTW, apologies for missing the call today; I made a time-conversion
error.)
