181106 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Woody to Gil with a copy to Gary
181107 - transmitting notice CAC did not approve SDS for a product statement of
181108 - direction on Aerospace company Desktop standards limited distribution,
181109 - and instead referred SDS to the EEPC KM SubCouncil on company wide
181110 - standards, received below. ref SDS 0 CC4L  This follows up Susan's
181111 - letter received last week, ref DRP 7 0001, requesting a vote by CAC on
181112 - the ASB for SDS, received on 041027. ref SDS 20 859F
181114 -  ..
181115 - Woody says CAC action on SDS can be appealed.  He does not oppose the
181116 - CAC position. ref DRT 2 YY6G  Previously, on 040610 Woody voted to
181117 - accept SDS for advancing in the process. ref SDS 10 Y85P  On 041013 he
181118 - facilitated advancement by resolving prior issues. ref SDS 16 0001
181119 - Recently, on 041022 Woody proposed a brief description for the ASB
181120 - explaining SDS. ref SDS 17 F18H
181121 -
181122 -    What are procedures for appeal?  Where are these published for
181123 -    uniform compliance?  Since CAC is a newly formed procedure, has
181124 -    there been time to formulate appeal procedures that can actually
181125 -    assist CAC?
181127 -     ..
181128 -    Does this mean visibility of the ASB on SDS, which led to inquiry
181129 -    for support of root cause analysis on 040905, has now gone dark?
181130 -    ref SDS 13 K46N
181132 -     ..
181133 -    What grounds support appeal?
181134 -
181135 -        This depends on CAC rationale referring SDS for determination
181136 -        of company wide standards, rather than approve limited
181137 -        distribution for a "product statement of direction."
181139 -         ..
181140 -        Did the CAC group publish "minutes" that explain the basis for
181141 -        the decision?
181143 -         ..
181144 -        Aerospace company could benefit from publishing the ASB standard for
181145 -        organizational memory in order to draw comments on the prospect
181146 -        of adding "intelligence support" to daily business activity.
181147 -        Presenting a coherent explanation of theory and practice is a
181148 -        necessary step for transformation.  This does not require
181149 -        accepting SDS as a Aerospace company standard.  "Product Statement of
181150 -        Direction" presents an adequate platform for exposure of a new
181151 -        idea.
181153 -         ..
181154 -        Is the referral to the EEPC KM SubCouncil a good faith effort
181155 -        that can be aided by support from Gary and Gil?

181171 -        the no standard procurement process, ref DRT 3 LH7G
181173 -  ..
181174 - "Companywide standard" is a bigger step than discussed with Woody on
181175 - 041004, when the need for time to give people experience with SDS
181176 - connected records through pilot testing on the company intranet was
181177 - reviewed. ref SDS 15 TY66

181179 -            [On 041108 Gil requested clarification from Woody.

181182 -  ..
181183 - On 041013 Woody seemed to support "limited distribution" for a
181184 - "Statement of Product Direction," rather than a "Companywide Standard"
181185 - discussed today. ref SDS 16 SE6F  On 040610 Woody voted to accept SDS
181186 - for advancing in the ASB process. ref SDS 10 Y85P

181191 - reported on 990312, ref SDS 6 01GN, and aimed at catapulting the firm
181192 - "out of the Dark Ages." ref SDS 6 8F8F  SDS deployment proposing 6
