We should designate at least one person from each operating division (S&O, NCS, IS, ATSUS, Security) to serve as the chief architecture planner for that division.  These people should serve together on a CIT Cross Divisional Architecture Team, to be chaired by the Director of Advanced Technology and Architecture.  This team will be tasked with developing our architecture plans, standards and vetting cross-divisional IT issues.   It is expected that the divisional architecture representatives will engage technical experts within their divisions as necessary to work on projects and issues.

Architecture Report presented at SRM.   SRM likes the report and approved adding information about the architecture inventory to the QBR process starting with the FY09 Q1 QBR.    CCDAT will need to work on refining the process by which this data is collected!
Additionally, CCDAT is being asked to take part in vetting the architecture design for the Ensemble (formerly PEP) project.   More information will follow as it becomes available!
