Meeting of September 17 2008

1(866)803-2146/code 202 339 0261

Background

In preparation for our meeting on October 1, we have to do a bit of "knowledge leveling."  

First, we have to make sure that we all understand the business context and risks of each pilot to evaluate them during the Think tank session on October 1.  As part of that process we will be reviewing the criteria we will use to make sure that we all understand and agree to the criteria.  The outcome of the meeting on October 1 will be to gauge the readiness of e-signature pilots to complete the analysis required in the business plan called out in NMFS Procedural Directive 32-110.  The goal is not to decide which e-signature pilots will proceed or not. 

Second, we will be preparing to assign each e-signature pilot an "assurance level" as required by the Procedural Director and, in turn, the OMB e-authentication policy and the NIST technical guidance.

 We plan to do this through the following desired outcomes and agenda:

Desired Outcomes

  • Understand five e-signature pilot project success factors
  • Understand pilot projects with respect to business risks that e-signatures might mitigate
  • Understand next steps in the process for evaluating pilots consistent with the NMFS procedural directive.
