12/3/08, Crystal Square 4, room 301, 0730-1700

Please RSVP by Friday, 11/28/08.

1. This is an invitation to the second installment of the Stability Operations Community of Interest (COI) Working Group. The Stab Ops COI will meet on 3 December 2008 from 0730 to 1700 in Crystal Square 4, Room 310, Arlington, VA.

2. Thank you once again for participating in the last session and recommending others for future sessions. Thanks in particular to those that presented in order to provide others with a sense of the nature of the problem. It was essential that I heard from each of you and between the plenary sessions and group work, I believe I did.

3. We’ve taken your stated requirements and introduced them to the sponsors and developers of the Transnational Information Sharing for Coalitions (TISC) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration. Although most of the capabilities that the Stab Ops COI WG requires are to be included in TISC, some are not scheduled to be completed until later spirals that do not necessarily track with the COI timeline. We will continue to work with the sponsors and developers to address requirements in a timely manner. The TISC developers are pleased to have a COI creating a demand signal for their product.

4. We’ve also had an opportunity to review USAID procedures as stated in the USAID Field Operations Guide which calls for three reports and contains numerous mission-specific terms which we will use to form the foundation of our vocabulary.
