The Committee will review the upcoming vacancies and the enabling legislation, then discuss how best to fill the positions at its next meeting. There is discussion among the Workgroups that the Executive Committee would be restructuring or reorganizing them. The Committee believes the PSA Workgroup is critical, and should not be disbanded. The Electronic Government Implementation Division should provide reports at COTS meetings. Agencies and institutions with successful projects or interesting project plans should provide presentations at COTS meetings.
Most members believe that that is already the case.
Cheryl Clark suggested that Workgroup chairs provide information on the top priorities for the quarter or over a six-month period to bring focus to COTS deliverables. Bonnie Davis of the Electronic Government Implementation Division is developing a comprehensive plan within the Division for carrying out Executive Order 65 initiatives. The COTS Executive Committee will take up this topic at the January 8 meeting. Secretary Upson met with the Attorney General and requested a designee for all technology-related issues. Richard Campbell will be the contact person.
