what does it take to be a "subcommittee"? is there an existing
subcommittee that the CoP could merge their interests with? or maybe an
existing subcommittee that could sponsor a quarterly meeting of the CoP?
just a suggestion to creatively keep the group's interests
represented..... Maybe it has some synergy with the IT Project Managers
area that is strongly sponsored right now.... could maybe be a best
practices for PMs? (01)

Jay, (02)
I appreciate your reply and suggestions. I want to point out it is not
up to us to decide where this CoP goes. What is up to this community is
whether the members want it to exist and will work to move it forward. (03)
At the present time, we are giving a very good imitation of being dead
in the water. (04)

I added a section called "Fate of the PM CoP" at the beginning of the
wiki (http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ITPMCoP) with my suggestion
for its continuation. Here's what I had said: (08)
Reply from Jay Alden (Professor, IRM College of National
Defense University): My suggestion would be to "Approve and leave it
where it is but structure the subcommittee primarily as an online
Community of Practice using this wiki (with occasional meetings
scheduled for those who are available). I would hope that we can
reorganize the wiki into sections that allow sharing of important
materials and collaboration on new best practices documents. (09)
My thought is that other members would include their suggestions as
well to the wiki. However, if this is not considered the way to go,
please don't hesitate to go back to the earlier version of the page. (010)
I have used wiki's before, and this one doesn't seem to be as easy to
edit or to format for good looking web pages. But, I didn't attend
Susan's teleconference and may have missed the insights as to how it can
be done. It would be especially beneficial if we could develop several
linked pages, each serving a different function in the community. (011)

The Executive Committee of the Federal CIO Council has directed the
Best Practices Committee to dissolve all of its communities of practice
and reconstitute them as a subcommittee if they can justify their
continuation. (015)
The options for the IT Performance Management Community of Practice
are: (016)
* Approve and leave it where it is
* Approve and move it to another committee (IT Workforce,
Architecture and Infrastructure)
* Not-approve and reconsider it in another form
* Not approve it (017)
The fate of this community rests on its members and whether they want
to make this work. In the short term, it will require drafting a new
charter and stating objectives by July 6 or 9th. After that, it will
require the members to select topics and organize agendas for future
meetings. The time commitment depends upon your level of involvement. (018)
I have served as a co-chairman of this community when it was
established as a sub-committee under the Capital Planning Committee. I
will help keep this community alive if enough of the members will step
up to keep it going. (019)
I will be on-leave from June 21 - 26. Please use this forum to
exchange your thoughts. (020)
