Deal.

I guess when we've completed Section 3 we might comes across a few more Recommendations.

Thanks, this looks a great first cut.  I’ll have a more detailed look through and see if I can offer helpful comments, but I think this is very much in the right ball park.

 

On Section 3, I think all the existing patterns you mention are very relevant to managing the IoT ecosystem.  In addition, I’d cite:

 

·        B1 Vision for Transformation

·        B3 Transformational Operating Model

·        S1 Stakeholder Empowerment

·        S5 Channel Mapping

·        S6 Channel Transformation

 

That gives a total of 11 patterns to highlight in Section 3.  I’d be happy to have a go at illustrating for one or two of these how we might write up Section 3 content in a way which highlights why the pattern is relevant to addressing IoT issues and which recommends how the pattern should be deployed in an IoT context – but then I’d hope we could divide out the eleven between a few of us on the TC.  Does that sound a sensible way forward?

Subject: [tgf] TGF/IoT CN Working Draft

 

Once again thanks for the very quick responses and for the support for my proposed way forward.  Attached is my initial draft of the Committee Note for your scrutiny. 

 

I don't profess for this to be in anyway near complete.  All I have done is drawn together bits of text that we have produced on this subject over the last couple of months, mainly from the draft new pattern that we had discussed.  It needs a very thorough read and further contributions please. 

 

Chris - can you take a particular look at Section 3 please as this is the message that you have been promoting but we need to be clear how the patterns should be applied.

 

Nig - can you look at Sections 2 and 4 to ensure they all make sense as much of this is your text.

 

Geoff - can you consider whether your architecture diagram or a version of it is appropriate for inclusion in Section 2.

 

As we've said what were looking for is something that we can put out for Public Review to test the water so if there are issues we're not sure about then let's include them and see what reaction we get.

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.
