171413 - According to Aerospace company's plan, there is only one (1) remaining step prior

171445 - the call today, Gary did not indicate which use cases were presented
171446 - to the committee.  A record of what was presented under criteria for
171447 - clear, concise, complete communication (see NWO, ref OF 5 DG6J) helps

171457 - Gary indicated during the call that he demonstrated creating a new SDS
171458 - record that is automatically linked back showing traceability to
171459 - original sources, which is one of many SDS features that reduce the
171460 - time and cost for root cause analysis, shown by the scope of
171461 - intelligence support in NWO. ref OF 4 QP5I  High cost is a major
171462 - factor that leads people to avoid good managment, noted in an article

171512 - The Board decided to hold another hearing on SDS in two weeks in order
171513 - that more voting members of the committee can learn about SDS.  The
171514 - decision to hold another hearing in two (2) weeks to expand awareness
171515 - about SDS is not part of Aerospace company's published procedures, and so may
171516 - further reflect favorable reception, and consequent drive to spread
171517 - the word at Aerospace company about SDS.  The board decided that this decision
171518 - should be made by more than only the two (2) voting members who
171519 - attended today's hearing.  On 040513, four (4) members voted on the
171520 - initial SDS proposal. ref SDS 10 HZ4M

171558 - for the chairman of the Architecture Committee, who can then make
171559 - general distribution to all attendees at the hearing today.

180404 - Gary suggested adding an outline that shows the scope for the several
180405 - ways that the concept of a 3-layer architecture supports SDS in the
180406 - foundational documents.
180408 -  ..
180409 - We reviewed the current outline, and decided that the "architecture"
180410 - should be the first element of the scope.  Therefore, added this to
180411 - the outline for intelligence in NWO. ref OF 4 LW5I
180413 -  ..
180414 - The outline provides a common location for understanding the
180415 - components of SDS support, with links to detailed explanations in
180416 - POIMS in NWO.
180418 -  ..
180419 - At some point, we may want to use the outline in NWO on intelligence
180420 - in a separate document for architecture "requirements," which can then
180421 - provide a "specification" that is a common basis for organic structure
180422 - to track context in the subject index.
