  040611: I did not find any harmonisation discussion, a mandatory topic for each year 2 objective. The word itself did not appear in the doc. Can you please let me know why this was excluded?
  050611: “There are cases where the schedule has fallen behind due to circumstances beyond the control of the Security Area groups or unforeseen extra work (e.g. release process).” This sounds a bit odd to me for two reasons. Certainly events beyond our control always happen, but one of the goal of management and coordination is also to try and predict them and find corrective actions when possible. The statement is too hard in my opinion, it was beyond our control, nothing we could do about it. This ignores work that certainly has been done to mitigate the issues. The other point is probably more important: the release process cannot be defined as “unforeseen extra work”! I would say that for some PTs in the Security Area complying with the planned Release Process policies was difficult and more effort than planned had to be dedicated to it. This statement should be revised before submitting, please.
  • 060611 Fixed (related to 2nd bullet). Twiki and CDS files updated.
