Good morning Kelly, I want to send you my thoughts on
yesterday's meeting and the implications for the next meeting. First, we have two sets of standards
involved in these discussions. In some ways this is similar to the
relationship between court filing processes and enabling rules to the
electronic court filing standard. One cannot do good technical standards
without having a solid understanding and some knowledge of the processes that
the technical standard would be supporting and further the constraints that the
technical standard may encounter and may need to adapt to. By your nature, you tend to be a quick
action individual, wanting to move things along as quickly as possible.
However, when you are creating a group or more a team you must have the
expectations that it will go through the standard forming, norming, conforming
and performing stages of development. The goal would be to get through
the stages as quickly as practical. The key here is that you have to
create an environment where trust is possible. A very good way of creating such an
environment is to reflect on and represent the true nature of the environment.
Your concept of creating a diagram of the standards is a good one. One
way of reflecting this is to show a ven diagram of the standards and where they
may have overlap. If you then refactor the diagram into a second diagram
that spreads out the policy and process standards from the enabling technology
standards and showing arrows between them showing primary dependencies and
feedback change control flows between related standards it may show the
universe and the correct light. As I mentioned in The most important item may be to identify
the initial mission and goals of the organization. Is the mission and
goal to be focused at the policy and process level, at least in the short term
or is there merit to having the implementation/enabling standards involved at
this time? The group needs to decide this important question or one or
more of the subgroups may become frustrated as I observed some frustration in
the meeting yesterday. Again, these are my initial thoughts.
I think there is value in getting the full set together again using the format
I described above. I believe this will help us set the initial correct
balance. FYI -- I am dictating this using the
Dragon software and have not needed to do a huge number of manual corrections.
This remediates the fact that I am a lousy typist. Regards, Don Donald L. Bergeron From: Bergeron, Donald
L. (LNG-DAY) Here is the presentation James and I are
giving on the 31st. Regards, Don Donald L. Bergeron From: Kelly Ray
[mailto:kray@corplegalstandard.com] Thanks for the heads up. Don – are you aware of a woman that
would be involved with leadership at LegalXML that is coming to attend? I
had a conversation with a woman who advised that she would be attending (it may
have been Susan Smoter, but I don’t think so because she specifically
referenced the LegalXML leadership team in our conversation). I
mistakenly wrote down that I was receiving a confirmation from Robin
Gibson. I’ve now cleared it up that I was not apparently talking
with Robin Gibson, but am not sure I have this other woman on my email listing
in order to make sure she has an update on logistics. Thanks,
From: Bergeron, Donald
L. (LNG-DAY) [mailto:Donald.Bergeron@lexisnexis.com] I am trying to coordinate our presentations.
Mine will not be ready til sometime on Friday. Regards, Don Donald L. Bergeron From: Kelly Ray [mailto:kray@corplegalstandard.com]
Gentlemen – still needing to get your slide
decks. I have them from the other presenters as well as materials from
some of the others that I will post up as well. Thanks,
