4/30/2010 CSS Billing Working Group

10:00 am in N42-286

Proposed Agenda:  "Followup on Calendar; standards for DTR Line Item Text"

• Recap -- where we are in what we're working on. 

• • Direct Billing via TNSC-for-CSS -- delay in testing this requested by Anne, to ensure that Finance was aware before we went ahead.   It was a up-to-the-deadline decision between "test and then discuss the idea if it has merit" and "discuss the idea and then test if there are no objections".  Meeting with CSS-Managers 5/4 for an update, and with IS&T Finance 5/5 for an overview of our work.   Next billing event would be 5/26

• Group Process Calendar -- FOLLOWUP
  • Review the contents of the document distributed based on the last meeting. 
  • Set date patterns we agree with.
• DTR Line Item Text
  • Examine the current variety in how we compose DTR line item text.  Are there some standards we can converge on?
  • Suggest and agree on possible improvements.
• Other Process Improvement Initiatives, as time permits
  • Consider the List -- should we take anything off?  should we put anything else on?
  • What to tackle next? 
  • Spawn child processes to swarm things forward -- do people want to sign up to work on certain things?
