THEMES from the feedback we've received:

Things We've Done Well

Things We Could Have Done Better

Things We Are Unclear About

The Wiki has been very successful
ThinkTank has been a helpful and useful way to organize our discussions
We have helped to make the Procedural Directive clear
The facilitation has been very good
The whole process has been effectively organized
Larry has been a strong leader of the group.
Steve has provided valuable insight from his experience with E-Sig
The business plans created are a valuable tool and template for all the pilots

Had budget allowed for it, more face to face meetings would've been good
Video Conferencing might have enhanced our meetings
A capstone meeting to wrap up our process

We are unclear on whether the business plans provide the proper level of detail needed to give to a software developer.
