1108 - Summary/Objective
1109 -
110901 - Follow up ref SDS 61 0000, ref SDS 59 0000.
110902 -
110903 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Eric responding to the letter yesterday,
110904 - ref DIP 2 0001 providing suggested subjects for project meetings,
110905 - ref SDS 61 0001, which was requested by Eric's letter, ref DRP 2
110906 - 1300, on 000407. ref SDS 60 6554
110907 -
110908 - Eric says sponsorship, item #14 in the record on 000407, ref SDS 60
110909 - 2975, and business model, item #10, ref SDS 60 6973, fall outside the
110910 - technical agenda he is sheparding, and he further says Welch is in
110911 - charge of running meetings on that aspect of things. ref DRT 1 3770
110912 -     ..
110913 -     Saying Welch is "in charge" conflicts with my letter to Doug
110914 -     on 000326, ref DIP 1 2898, pointing out that I have not committed
110915 -     to do weekly meeting notes, which is integral to managing any
110916 -     aspect of anything. ref SDS 47 4078
110917 -
110918 -     On 000406 Jack Park discussed project management, reviewed need
110919 -     for business environment. ref SDS 59 6783
110920 -
110921 - Eric reports having followed the link on that page, but saw a detailed
110922 - report, rather than a list of possible items in the record on 000407,
110923 - ref SDS 60 6554, and so he requests a summary. ref DRT 1 1386  This
110924 - request is a little unclear, because there are four (4) links in the
110925 - letter to Eric. ref DIP 2 0001  Eric does not say which one he tried
110926 - that caused the trouble.
110927 - ..
110928 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 pointing out I am not in charge of
110929 - anything, and am helping on an interim basis, per above. ref SDS 0
110930 - 1961  Further suggest that sponsorship, ref SDS 60 2975, and
110931 - developing an effective business model, ref SDS 60 6973, relate to
110932 - technical agenda per meeting on 000324 that these issues impact the
110933 - order and emphasis of technical development. ref SDS 45 7030   On
110934 - 000403 Eric reviewed business model issues that impact technical
110935 - agenda. ref SDS 55 2954
110936 -
110937 - In the letter to Eric, ref DIT 1 5025, point out that clicking on the
110938 - link for a "few items" in the letter yesterday, ref DIT 1 0001, takes
110939 - him to the list he had difficulty locating. ref SDS 60 6554  Explain
110940 - that the first sentence of each para summarizes the issue, and each of
110941 - these are bold.  I agree that the explanations are lengthy.  I do not
110942 - set out in the letter to Eric that this reflects the complex nature of
110943 - the subject we are addressing, i.e., converting from an information
110944 - paradigm to a knowledge paradigm.
110945 - ..
110946 - Also, note that of the 14 items, 12 seem to be technical, and
110947 - suggest that we discuss the matter by phone.  I give Eric my phone
110948 - number so he can call, and indicate he can give me his number if he
110949 - wishes. ref DIT 1 4828
110950 -
110951 - Propose that we discuss with the team tomorrow what we want to get
110952 - accomplished in the next 3 - 4 weeks. ref DIT 1 5475
110953 -
110954 -    [On 000420 project team reviewed meeting agenda subjects.
110955 -    ref SDS 62 0683
110956 -
110957 - In a separate letter, I provided a link to a list of documents that
110958 - have been received and issued on the project so Eric can select some
110959 - examples to show how the technical agenda being pursued will augment
110960 - present practice.  He submitted a use case discussion on "nodes" and I
110961 - asked him to illustrate in the record how it applies to daily working
110962 - information.

282104 - tomorrow, which is in the record on 000407. ref SDS 60 6554
282105 -
282106 - This reflects Doug's goal reported on 000327 to improve handling of
282107 - daily working information. ref SDS 49 3971  On 000326 Doug requested
282108 - that the DKR team use technology for managing the project in order to
282109 - gain experience with Knowledge Management, that can help creat better

282111 -

282113 -    but not clear that this was done via Internet. ref SDS 62 0683
282114 - ..
282115 - May be able to illustrate an approach for using the record on
282116 - the Internet that helps handle daily working information, along the
282117 - lines of objectives for a Paperless Office, Virtual Office, based on
282118 - the model of computer aided management.

282121 -    request.

282504 -
282505 - Eric asks about the level of effort required to make specific lines in
282506 - the record "summary" items, ref DRT 3 3520, and plans to make this a
282507 - use case issue for incorporation into the DKR. ref DRT 3 1260
282508 -
282509 - "Summary" is a big part of human intelligence, set out in POIMS,
