This was in recognition that -SG is not resourced to commission or manage projects but can act as a broker. Lesley's responsibilities will be reconstituted as this new role. A very important function will be for the -SG Evaluations Web to act as a repository of evaluations conducted within the community. Its organisation should fit in with the Software Categorisation Model. Various levels of security may need to be put in place at the request of sites offering information.

Fred, to produce Generic Criteria Guidelines. MLEs and VLEs. Already in preparation. Provisionally one day, December 2001, Oxford. Communication with and between members of the -SG community remains a problem.
