Re: My notes on the charter document

Evan,

Great feedback on the charter.

1) While I'm not opposed to spinning off new groups for certain use cases,
I think we need to do that with some caution.  There is some synergy to be
gained if we work the use cases in one place, in my opinion.  There are
probably areas of overlap that might be missed if everything spins off into
a separate group.  The community group process, I believe, allows for task
forces, or other sorts of things, and creating "tasks forces" as sub-groups
of the socbiz community group might be one way to achieve both a focused
goal as well as maintaining synergy by working on once place.

2) Agree.  I like the idea of rolling work products.  We should still set
goals for ourselves, even if it is to produce 1 use case by May (that is
only an example).  If there is better wording that makes this clearer, we
should put it in if all agree.

3) Agree.  Any suggestions on better working to add  the idea of
practitioners into the charter in a stronger way ?

Everyone,

Thanks for a good kick-off meeting -- short, sweet, and to the point. My
favorite kind.

I'd like to share my thoughts on the charter. Overall, it reflects my
expectations for the group, but I have some specific ppints.
   1.	I'd like to suggest that when we think a use case is a priority, or
      an area of interest is a priority, we take the initiative to start
      new groups to focus on those issues. For example: we've identified in
      the Social Jam a need for work around social analytics. It may make
      sense for the socbiz group to spin that out as a separate effort, and
      monitor its success.
   2.	I think that this group can be most useful if we keep it open on a
      rolling basis. I think that's the intent from an undefined closing
      date. We may want to make it specific that our "Deliverables" won't
      be delivered in a big binder at the end of 18 months, but rather as a
      continuing stream of produced works.
   3.	One of the strengths of this group, as far as I can tell, is its
      emphasis on practitioners inside enterprises (rather than just
      vendors). I wonder if we could find ways to support that in the
      charter?
That's what I've got right now. Otherwise, it looks real good!

-Evan
