1211 - Summary/Objective
1212 -
121201 - Follow up ref SDS 7 ZS7J, ref SDS 2 ZR9H.
121202 -
121203 - In a call this morning, discussing the draft letter for notifying
121204 - Aerospace company management in the M&S group, reported on 040330, ref SDS 7
121205 - ZS7J, Gary indicated that encountering a limited number of letters and
121206 - other documents (e.g., 3 - 10) on the Internet that relate to Aerospace company
121207 - operations concerning the Welch contract, ref OF 1 0001, which were
121208 - developed on 040317, ref SDS 5 PQ6P, and solely for the purpose of
121209 - demonstrating SDS support for organizatioal memory, that is a
121210 - deliverable of the Welch contract, ref OF 1 CX28, for enabling
121211 - "Knowledge Space" to augment intelligence for better command and
121212 - control, as explained in POIMS, ref OF 11 1113, could cause severe
121213 - emotional torment and trauma to some Aerospace company staff, who worry about the
121214 - formalities of confidentiality without regard to substantive harm,
121215 - could result in Aerospace company not using SDS, and so eliminating ability to
121216 - discover and learn the benefits of converting information into
121217 - knowledge, along the lines of reports on 030716, ref SDS 1 0001, and
121218 - later on 040116. ref SDS 4 0001  In sum, demonstrating the ability to
121219 - perform the contract to provide a deliverable, which Aerospace company wants,
121220 - shown by efforts to develop better command and control for delivery to
121221 - its customer, could lead to cancellation of the contract to deliver an
121222 - effective system of integrating personal and organizational memory.
121224 -  ..
121225 - Gary's perspective was supplemented later in the afternoon during
121226 - discussion with Jackie, in Aerospace company Procurement, asking about getting an
121227 - okay to display a limited number of documents for the purpose of
121228 - demonstrating the SDS deliverable of "organizational memory, which
121229 - Jackie had previously examined last week in the course of approving
121230 - the Welch contract, e.g., on 040317. ref SDS 5 0001  The ultimate
121231 - approval, reviewed on 040330, ref SDS 7 0001, had sent a signal that
121232 - limited demonstration was acceptable.  Further experience today,
121233 - however, suggests the signal may have been a "false positive."
121235 -  ..
121236 - During the discussion with Jackie, she seemed to interpret the inquiry
121237 - as an effort for Welch to have access to the Aerospace company intranet, and
121238 - proposed asking Jonnathan, with the Aerospace company IT security department to
121239 - join the call.  We reviewed correspondence last week on 040318, when
121240 - Jackie asked about this, ref SDS 6 PQYW, and at that time, it was
121241 - explained that the Welch contract does not require Welch to have
121242 - access to the Aerospace company intranet. ref SDS 6 4R72  A letter was then
121243 - submitted to Jackie confirming the scope of the Welch contract does
121244 - not include access to the Aerospace company intranet. ref SDS 6 038A  Later, Gil,
121245 - who managers operations for the M&S group, and is the responsible
121246 - Aerospace company employee for managing the Welch contract, also, confirmed,
121247 - these understandings. ref SDS 6 G46N
121249 -  ..
121250 - Based on the foregoing, Jackie sounded confused about how email she
121251 - received on the Welch contract was able to provide linked resources,
121252 - if the information was not on the Aerospace company intranet?  This suggests an
121253 - assumption was made that the prior communications were on the Aerospace company
121254 - intranet, and that in order for Welch to have provided the links she
121255 - encountered working on the Welch contract, he would need clearance for
121256 - access to the Aerospace company intranet.  This scenario may explain Jackie's
121257 - letter on 040318 asking if Welch needs access to the Aerospace company intranet.
121258 - ref SDS 6 PQYW
121260 -  ..
121261 - Attempting to change the focus from using the Aerospace company intranet, to
121262 - considerations for providing limited exposure of a few documents on
121263 - the Internet for purposes of demonstrating the concept and practices
121264 - of "organizational memory, called out in the Welch contract, then led
121265 - to Jackie decide that IT security should be involved in the
121266 - discussions.  We ended the call so Jackie could arrange for Jonnathan
121267 - to join a conference call a few minutes later.
121269 -  ..
121270 - About 10 minutes later, Jackie called back and said that Jonnathan is
121271 - tied up today.  They want to have a conference call on Monday to
121272 - follow up.  In the meantime, Jackie will submit copies of email
121273 - correspondece she has on file pertaining to the Welch contract to
121274 - Jonnathan to prepare for the conference call next Monday, 040405.
121275 -
121276 -     [On 040406 Jackie called to follow up; Jonnathan was not available
121277 -     until 1330, and wound up being tied up until past 1430, which
121278 -     created a conflict with other commitments, so decided to follow up
121279 -     the following day on 040407. ref SDS 8 SC5I
