Thanks to everyone for their views and suggestions so
far. Taking all these on board and some further thinking on
my part I think the answer to our problem is as follows.
The title of the CN should be "TGF: Impact
of IoT" and the objective of the document is to present an
impact assessment of the IoT on TGF programs and public
services. The assessment will result in a number of
recommendations, which may include the need for new TGF
patterns or changes to existing ones which would be
incorporated in TGF v3.0, but with the main one being the
need for governance of the IoT and how a lot of the TGF
patterns support that need.
The outline structure I circulated
earlier, see attached, I think still holds good but within
that structure the tenor of the text is that of an impact
assessment. This approach allows for a lot of discussion
about the merits of the IoT, its newness, its potential for
the future and the problems it may/will present to TGF
managers.
If we could come to an early consensus on
this as the way forward I will get the necessary document
template and sketch an outline for discussion on our next TC
call.
So AYEs/NOs asap please.

Thanks for your suggestions. They are in
line with my thinking although I would want to
use the term Governance rather than Managing
the IoT. A subtle but very important
difference.
I like the analogy in your third bullet. I
hope we can end up with the TGF being accepted
within MENSA!

Just
a couple of thoughts:
·
A
couple suggestions for the
title:
o
Leveraging
the IoT with TGF
o
Managing
the IoT with TGF
·
Nig’s
comments got me thinking
that the IoT will be a great
test (or great application)
of the TGF as the IoT
evolves. I see it working
much like brain development:
growing sensory and motor
capacity; development of
synapses (connections);
pruning of those connections
thought to be useless; and
then (hopefully) homeostasis
of that development and
pruning. The value
proposition of TGF will come
in how it enables that
process.

Agree leaving
the title until the
end would probably
make it easier.
Unfortunately to get
the CN template from
TC Admin they need a
title and abbreviation
to allocate the
filename, URL etc and
changing either after
that is virtually
impossible.
Thanks for
continuing to scratch
your head over this.
Let's get a few ideas
from others and see if
there's any common
ground.
another
thought is
"TGF and IoT
Governance"
shorter is
indeed the
challenge, it
needs to be
end user
friendly so it
needs to be
somewhat
descriptive
what it is, at
the same time
it needs to
stay true
within its
scope and
focus.
other
suggestion is
to leave the
title to the
end, it may
become easier
once the paper
is done. It
may be helpful
to identify a
few key words
to help stay
focused, here
are some that
I observed for
the purpose of
the CN:
-
TGF
pattern
-
IoT
governance
-
IoT
ecosystem
-
Public
sector
services
I
have my
sympathy to
Nig &
John's comment
in other
email, agree
part of this
initial
positioning/educational
purpose of the
CN is also for
us to become
more clear
about the
implication
& issues
to identify
future work
for TGF.

Perhaps a bit
of a mouthful,
something
shorter would
be better but
coming up with
that will be a
challenge.
John,
the
structure
looks good for
me. How about
a title along
the line of
"IoT
implication in
Public Sector
Services" - a
perspective
from TGF
From
responses
received so
far there
appears to be
support for
the idea of a
new Committee
Note. So to
help move
this along a
little further
I've sketched
out a proposed
structure
for the new
CN, see
attached. I
don't see
this being a
lengthy
document,
maybe 6-10
pages max.
Perhaps
the most
difficult part
is deciding on
a title for
the CN. Any
suggestions on
that would be
appreciated.
Before
I commission
the new CN
template from
TC Admin can I
have your
views on this
structure and
any
suggestions on
other aspects
that will need
to be
included.
Peter,
Chris and I
had a chat
yesterday as a
follow-up to
our
discussions on
the last TC
call about the
possible new
Platform
Management
pattern. We
discussed the
suggestion on
the TC call
that we should
be talking
more about
ecosystem
management/governance
rather than
platform
management and
referred back
to some of
Peter's
initial TGF
Primer
thinking on
this aspect.
Our
conclusions
were broadly
as follows:
- the
IoT does not
add anything
fundamentally
new to the TGF
and therefore
a new pattern
is not
required;
- the
issues about
IoT that need
to be
addressed in
TGF programs
relate to the
governance
aspects of
utilising the
new range of
devices and
not the
technical
issues;
- most
if not all of
the required
governance
aspects are
already in the
TGF but
perhaps are
not
self-evident
because they
are spread
across a
number of
patterns;
- we
should produce
a new
Committee Note
that discusses
the relevant
aspects of
IoT, gives an
overview of
how to use the
TGF in this
context and
points to the
current TGF
patterns that
support the
governance
needs;
- the
advantages of
producing a
new Committee
Note are that:
-
it can be
done very much
quicker than
producing a
TGF v3.0
-
it allows us
to write a
much more
discursive
piece of text
and diagrams,
with recommendations
rather than
being
constrained by
having to
write formal
conformance
clauses
-
it will not
require a lot
of new
material as
much of what
needs to be
said is
already
available in
the TGF and
can be
supplemented
by extracts
from the draft
Platform
Management
pattern and
some of the
diagrams that
have already
been put
forward
-
we can produce
a draft and
get it out for
Public Review
quickly which
will test
the water and
perhaps highlight
updates for a
future TGF
v3.0
I'm
sure Peter and
Chris will
correct and
add to any of
the above
points which
attempt to
summarise an
hour's call.
We
obviously will
need to
discuss this
on the next TC
call before we
attempt to put
pen to paper
on a new
Committee
Note, but it
would be good
to get some
initial
reaction to
our
recommendation
please.
