1007 - Summary/Objective
1008 -
100801 - Follow up ref SDS 24 0000. ref SDS 23 0000.
100802 -
100803 - Asked about email on 030508 linked to this record following up telecon
100804 - with Walt on 030501, ref SDS 23 BY4O, concerning following two (2)
100805 - issues....
100806 -
100807 -     1.  Status reviewing SDS and Com Metrics based on background
100808 -         listed in the record on 030501. ref SDS 23 0001
100810 -  ..
100811 - Walt said the people he has assigned to review SDS and Com Metrics are
100812 - not at their desk today; maybe they are attending a seminar.  Walt
100813 - will ask the team to coordinate with Rod on their review so there can
100814 - be input to the report he receives, as was done with a draft,
100815 - ref DIP 2 0001, submitted to USACE reported on 981218. ref SDS 2 5N80
100816 -
100817 -       [On 030519 Walt notifying staff via email to coordinate with Rod
100818 -       on input to review of SDS and Com Metrics. ref SDS 25 0001
100820 -  ..
100821 - Second issue...
100823 -          ..
100824 -     2.  Command and Control is a core requirement in DOD which SDS and
100825 -         Com Metrics support, as shown in POIMS, ref OF 5 1113
100827 -  ..
100828 - Walt indicated that Command and Control of the record is a good way to
100829 - frame the objective of his assignment to develop an architecture for
100830 - finding the right information, as discussed on 030421. ref SDS 20 DF8F
100831 - We want to strengthen the prior experience with HQUSACE by submission
100832 - of draft review ideas, as occurred with USACE,
100834 -  ..
100835 - Walt noted he does not believe SDS is better than other methods for
100836 - finding the right information at the right time.  I agreed that the
100837 - burden is on Welch to demonstrate this claim, which illustrates an
100838 - important distinction between "information" and "knowledge" shown in
100839 - the record on 900303. ref SDS 1 7739
100840 -
100841 -     [On 030520 Walt determined SDS and Com Metrics do not meet DOD
100842 -     mission requirements without demonstration and with no disclosure
100843 -     of criteria for the determination. ref SDS 26 ZI9F
100845 -      ..
100846 -     [On 030521 Walt reports that the record today saying that he does
100847 -     not believe that SDS is better than other methods for finding the
100848 -     right information at the right time, ref SDS 0 9I6O, is incorrect;
100849 -     therefore request clarification on prior report incorrectly says
100850 -     SDS does not meet mission requirements. ref SDS 27 EP9H
