2. I convened the meetin asking for corrections to the
minutes of the 8 September meeting. noted that his component is
LMS, as opposed to IRS. No other corrections were noted.
3. I presented a briefing on the OC requirements cycle.
He explained that OC is trying to formalize the requirements process,
including the call for communications requirements from Agency components,
but there really are two requirements processes. The first, which OC is
doing fairly well, addresses future levels of existing services. The
second, which OC is.,doing less well, addresses the need for new and
different services. In the discussion prompted by remarks, it was
clear that any requirements methodology has to deal effectively with both
types of requirements.
4. handed out some material extracted from Ma0nagi~n the
Systems eve omen Process and recommended the group adopt this ok as the
basis for its requirements methodology. The group agreed after some
discussion of how much should be included in the requirements process. The
group's focus will be a fairly narrow one, leaving the larger issues to the
Information Services Planning Working Group. (Copies of the book were
ordered and will be distributed as soon as they arrive.)
S. Discussion of the scope of the group's work led to a review of the
proposed working group charter. The group wanted more emphasis on the
technology acquisition aspects of our work and several other chances. A
revised draft will be circulated prior to our next meeting.
