Issues:
The team did not meet for several weeks because of scheduled outages
and work conflicts. This delayed work on building the case for the
report.
If the hope is to be able to implement a solution in the summer of
2003 a decision will need to be determined before the beginning of
April 2003.
While earlier conversations indicated agreement with the online
approach, there is a lingering concern that the privacy committee
will veto this project. It is critical that we have that
determination now.
A contract with infiNET is being reviewed so that it will not delay
progress if the project is approved for implementation.
Key learnings:
Team dynamics:
The team is committed to completing this work in time for a possible
summer implementation.
Additional comments:
None.
