Subject:
SDS Boeing ASB Intelligence Support
Dear Doug,
Per our telecon this evening, we got a
report that
a 4 to 1 vote that evidently moves us on to the next
step for approving SDS as a Boeing standard for "organizational
memory" (analogous to your DKR), which enables intelligence
support.
..
The one person who objected shows that we probably
still have some hurdles to cross.
..
Here is a link to the scope of
intelligence support
that SDS
tries to provide...
..
On a first read, I would not click on links.
..
Feedback would be great if you have time.
..
Additionally, note attribution to you and your work occurs twice
in the ASB...
..
"References" near the bottom lists a citation to the
paper you discussed during our telecon on 991222.
..
"FAQs" (Frequently Asked Questions) cites your work on a question
about the meaning of "augmenting intelligence."
..
You should know as well that Gary Johnson, who is using SDS on
the job at Boeing, greatly respects your work, and cites you
often.
