5 minLearning Pathway for GSWG deliverablesCarly

See this Slack thread. To quote Carly:

"Is anyone in Governance interested in working with me to organize the governance metamodel documentation to be pulled together in a learning module?"

  • Carly has started a draft of a Learning Pathway for our governance deliverables.
  • This can make it much easier for newcomers to learn about a particular ToIP subject.
  • Drummond Reed was super excited about establishing these for different ToIP subjects.
  • Carly said they should not be that hard to write. They also can help identify gaps that need to be filled.
  • Scott shared that having Learning Pathways will be very helpful for his new firm (below).
    • Carly asked Scott to help identify what learning pathway(s) would be needed.
    • She also made the point that different Learning Pathways can be assembled into larger chunks.
    • Scott agreed that we can build a "tree" of these over time.
  • Carly wants to keep the initial investment low for the authors and the value high for learners.
    • It could be similar to the draft blog post (above).
    • It could also be delivered in multiple formats, i.e., a document, a slide deck, a video.
  • Savita also envisioned that it could be an interactive document/workflow that outputs a governance framework document.
  • ACTION: CHAIRS to put the Learning Pathway Outline Drafting as our first agenda item for the next meeting.
20 minsSpecial announcement from co-chair Scott PerryScott Perry

10 minsGoals and resource requirements for GSWG in 2022All

Early on in the GSWG, we agreed that our first primary milestone was to get out our baseline GSWG specifications (the 3 deliverables above). We've also published 8 additional governance, trust assurance, and risk assessment tools. 

We anticipated that once we had our baseline, the next step would be to produce layer-specific governance framework templates to publish as ToIP Recommendations. Questions we should discuss:

  1. Is this still our next priority?
  2. If so, which layer-specific template should come first?
  3. Do we have the volunteer resources within the GSWG to do this work in, say, the first half of 2021?
5 minsGSWG terms wiki and glossary developmentDrummond Reed

Drummond will explain the state of the ToIP Core Glossary and the GSWG Glossary—and the gap we need to "backfill" to publish definitions of all the terms used in our new deliverables (the ones listed above).
