[edit] Discussion
A big thanks to the 27 carriers that responded to the 2007 work item prioritization request. See the list of respondents in the slides.
[edit] Decisions
- Priorities specific to a work item will be shared in a general manner when preparing to kick off those work items.
- Work items will not be started without a carrier sponsor. Libby to distribute an overview of what "sponsorship" means.
- Participants agree that a carrier co-chair is desirable. Libby will kick off the nomination process in early January.
- Participants see value in the survey scorecard and additional reporting efforts. The next "scorecard" to be developed is implementations of team recommendations.
- Carriers will take the priority list back to their teammates to determine which items they would like to sponsor.
[edit] Additional discussion
- Verizon and Alltel commented that they loved the microphones at the last VSWG. Verizon said we should have these at every meeting.
- Verizon and Alltel commented that we should not have internet access in the meeting rooms to encourage participation.
- Libby agreed to make an announcement during future face to face meetings encouraging people to focus on the meeting versus email.
- Alltel suggested there is value in co-locating our meetings with another relevant meeting such as was done with LBS.
- Alltel and Verizon suggested there is no need for the "all IRT" conference calls. They prefer to spend time on relevant group working issues.
