way I have designed the WG Self-Assessment, the PROCESS dimension is intended
to refer to the WG¡¯s internal operations (norms, logistics, decision-making,

(imposed methodology) and, based upon your earlier comments, I attempted to
cover it generically in the 1<sup>st</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>question of Section II. If a WG

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">this
is looking really good. i've got just a little bit i'd like to see us
work into the "Processes" section. is there a way to get a question or
two in there that gives participants a chance to talk about the PDP
process? we've got decision-making methodology (consensus) in there
already, maybe this question/LO is closely related to that? looking back
at the projects that the SCI is working on (method to suspend/end a WG is a
good example), i think some feedback on the *structure* of the PDP would be
helpful.<o:p></o:p></div></div>

<div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">for
example, we have a lot of comment-periods (and subsequent reviews of those
comments) built into the PDP right now. 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="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">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="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'MS PGothic', sans-serif; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">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>

could subdivide it into three basic or core components:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Inputs ¡ú Processes ¡ú Outputs</b>.
In the first version, I captured many of the processes, the outputs, but only
a few of the inputs, namely, team member representativeness, tools, and
outside experts. I did not ask about the other critical inputs that impinge
upon the success of a WG, e.g., its charter/mission (including time or other
constraints) and team member<u>expertise</u>. That led to a
reconceptualization of the external resources questions into three buckets:
administrative, technical, and human.</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', serif"><o:p></o:p></span></div></div>
