ATI and IM go hand in hand. Eric Miller of TBS is currently on the ATI Review Task Force and this team has a 1-year mandate and must report by Fall of 2001. There have been no conclusions as of yet. There are two major groupings and six sub-sections. Understanding the Governance Context, and Focusing on the Access to Information Framework.
Information management is a major subsection of Understanding the governance context.
Johanne reported that 15 members responded to her invitation to join the MGIH Working Group following her presentation at the October 26th IM Forum and indicated that they would be going on retreat the following Thursday and Friday. She said that there was still room for more members if anyone was interested. Andrew Morgan talked about the fact that there was no clear model for best practices, guidance, approach, on classification, but said that once we begin there is no turning back with this whole initiative. Terms of reference and the mandate of the IM Forum are yet to be determined and will be revisited by Niall and Gabrielle prior to the next meeting in February. Niall indicated that he will be staffing several new positions at TBS and that if anyone knows of any qualified or interested candidates, to contact him at 946-3052.
