Subject: RE: [tgf] Issue 38 - Purpose of TGF, Line 127 - open


I agree with Collin that we must be succinct.  To quote a former Mayor of Cleveland, “Joe, if I can’t explain the benefit while ordering a beer at the VFW hall, I can’t help implement this”.   

 

What I am looking for is 1 – 3 sentences that gives the compelling reason to use this framework and adopt its standards.   For example:

·         I can explain National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) as the Rosetta stone that enables quicker, faster, and cheaper electronic information sharing in justice / government.

·         I have described Electronic Court Filing (ECF) 4.0 and the FBI’s Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification (EFTS) as standards that enabled plug compatibility and eliminated proprietary technologies that cost governments millions. 

·         I explain the Justice Reference Architecture (JRA) as framework to jump start the construction of an integrated justice information sharing community.  It allows the leadership to think holistically even if they must implement incrementally.  The standards referenced in the architecture are enablers that can speed implementation and lower costs

 

The last example may be the most comparable to TGF.  However, I know that I am still kind of ignorant of the nuances of the TGF.  That is why I asked for insight. 

 

Would something like this 1-3 sentence explanation help?

Joe:

Thanks for this. This new issue is open for comment.

Colin has already noted that:

“I understand and appreciate the sentiment, but a 'business case' for adoption of a particular standard is not easily quantifiable. Somewhere in my archives I have a business case for adopting ISO 27001/27002 ISMS which we can refer to when we get to this (later). Case studies may well be a better 'sales tool'. Either way, I see both of these things, stretching this Primer out farther than intended. And I'm not sure we will bring the audience with us if we stretch the Primer to more than its current 55 pages, if we add yet another Part right now.

It's definitely a candidate for later work tho'.”

 

Other comments?

Subject: [tgf] New Issue: Purpose. Line 127 Conceptual

 

Line 127: Why should a government seek to conform to a “how to” standard such as the TGF?  What benefits accrue as a result of their efforts to meet the specifics of the standard?  We should take our own advice and have a clear business case for adhering to this standard.   Can someone provide insight?
