a briefing for the Enhancement/Update of the Test & Evaluation Gold
Standard for the AMS. Mike explained that the pre-version 1 is currently
in the AMS and this needs to be updated. He also suggested that the T&E
Gold Standard Implementation guide was available and would be helpful
for the ASAG members to have available to them as they review the
proposed AMS changes. David Lankford asked Mike to send the
implementation guide to Malinda for distribution to the ASAG members.
Rebecca Taylor King asked if the proposed standards are linked to post
implementation reviews. Mike responded that they are not but he would
consider it. Teri Burke asked if AIO or AIS had been involved in
developing the proposed change. Mike responded that they had. The ASAG
requested additional time to review the proposed changes and agreed to
provide comments to Mike, with a copy to Austin Aurandt by April 25. The
proposed changes will be presented to the ASAG for approval at the May
meeting.
