Admin Working GroupReport to Closing Plenary Jim MacFie, Chair Steve Barclay, Vice Chair
Agenda and Participants • Modifications were made to the agenda (reflected in GSC17-ADMIN-01r2) based upon HoD and GSC Plenary discussions. • 24 participants • Representation by all Members; IEEE SA and JTC 1
Objectives • GSC Reform • Initiate discussions to provide guidance to the GSC HoDs to allow them to come to consensus on how to move forward with a GSC restructure.
GSC Reform • Re-examine the entire GSC organization, including structure, scope/mandate and working methods. • Examine what is not currently working. • Begin from scratch.
GSC Reform • Summary of scope/mandate discussions: • Collaboration and cooperation • Focus on strategic issues • Focus on technical issues • Sharing of information on experiences • Bring together leadership/management on a regular basis to network • Discussion topics should focus on more strategic matters and not static HISs.
GSC Reform • Consider umbrella model to allow technical topics to be discussed outside of GSC Plenary meetings. • A more strategic set of meetings could support a shortened duration and size of meetings, and therefore more frequent (e.g. annual) meetings.
GSC Reform • Delegation size should be revisited following a resolution on restructure. • Hospitality levels should be retained since high-level individuals are in attendance. • Membership model should be maintained. • Observers should continue to be invited since expertise exists outside of GSC members. • Need for written criteria to “qualify” for membership is for further discussion.
Ad Hoc on Restructuring • ADMIN WG proposes the creation of a GSC HoD Ad Hoc on Restructuring, comprised of the HoDs and HoD appointed representatives. • Proposed Chair: Jim MacFie, ISACC • Terms of Reference (ToR): • Continue discussions begun at GSC-17 on the scope/mandate and working methods of GSC; • Take into account the concepts on strengthening collaboration (as contained in GSC17-PLEN-40); and • Make a recommendation on restructure to the GSC HoDs by January 1, 2014.
Electronic Working Methods Discussion • The GSC-17 Plenary deferred discussion on how to address electronic working methods (as contained in GSC17-PLEN-37r1) to the ADMIN WG. • ADMIN WG agreed that its leadership will continue discussions of this topic offline.
Proposed Strengthening Collaboration Resolution • The GSC-17 Plenary deferred discussion of GSC17-PLEN-40 to the ADMIN WG. • The ADMIN WG recommends that the concepts in the proposed Resolution/Task Force be addressed by the proposed Ad Hoc on Restructuring. • The ADMIN WG recommends that GSC17-PLEN-40 be tabled.
Review of Governing Documents • GSC17-ADMIN-02, -03, -04, and -05 were overtaken by the discussion and proposal to create the GSC Ad Hoc on Restructuring. • As a result, ISACC withdrew the aforementioned contributions.
ADMIN WG at GSC-18 • The ADMIN WG recommends meeting during the GSC-18 meetings, subject to possible changes that may be recommended by the Ad Hoc on Restructuring.
Proposed Resolution • No ADMIN WG Resolution
