Core Services

Panel

On July 22nd, 2009, CSS Leaders began a three-part series of meetings ont he topic of IS&T's Core Products and Services.  We began with "The Great Debate: Core Services," pitting Barbara and Oliver on opposing sides of the question of whether you need to define "Core".   Please review and comment on the NOTES from that meeting.

On August 5, 2009, CSS Leaders continued the discussion by asking what the Guiding Principles should be when determining what IS&T's core services are/should be. Please review and comments on the NOTES from that meeting.

In the end, we agreed that the April, 2009 "Responsibilities of IS&T" document best defines IS&T's mission and charter, and is the best guide.  We will begin with this charter, and the previously published draft of Core Products and Services when we conclude the series on August 19th, 2009.
