Marika laid all those end to end one time and came up with a minimum time to get through a PDP that's pretty long. it would be nice to start getting feedback from WG participants as to whether they felt that those were all needed and whether they were helpful to the work of the WG. i'm seeing a transition in the way that WG's review those comments. at first, the review felt like a burden that we had to get through because it was a requirement imposed on us by the PD. more recently those comment-reviews have been a really good source of discussion-points and preliminary language that we've woven into initial and final reports. <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; ">if we stick with that example, there's a process-definition dimension (have we got the right number of comment-periods?) and a process-effectiveness dimension (did the WG effectively make use of those comments in doing their analysis?). both are important. we don't want to change a good process that's being badly carried out, in that case we want to improve the effectiveness of the WG participants. we DO want to review a bad process even though the WG has implemented it well if that badly-defined process is hurting effectiveness and timeliness. <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; ">one reason i picked that particular example is because there's a lot of pressure to become "more agile" in the PDP right now. what this often turns into is a shorthand for "do it faster!" and, since the comment/review cycles are fixed/required that sometimes means that the only place to shorten the process is the deliberative portion of the WG's work. it would be nice to be able to get some data from participants that might give an early indication that something needs to change there. that analysis would also be helpful in the "let's not break/bypass the bottom-up process" and "policy vs implementation" conversations that are going on at the moment.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; ">thanks Ken -- really like where this is headed.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; ">mikey<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </div><div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; ">On Jun 12, 2013, at 10:42 AM, Ken Bour <<a href="mailto:ken.bour@verizon.net" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline; ">ken.bour@verizon.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p> </p><div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">SCI Members:</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">I have been thinking about the topics raised by Mikey and Avri in their first impressions of the Draft Self-Assessment Questionnaire.
