30-day Public Review for Transformational Government Framework (#TGF) Tools and Models for the Business Management Framework: Volume 1 Using the Policy Product Matrix Version 2.0 – ends May 29th

The Transformational Government Framework TC [1] members have recently approved a Committee Note Draft (CSD) and submitted it for 30-day public review:

Transformational Government Framework (TGF) Tools and Models for the Business Management Framework: Volume 1 Using the Policy Product Matrix Version 2.0
Committee Note Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01
22 April 2014

With the release we are testing a convenience option for submitting comments to the Technical Committee. Please see the details under ‘Public Review Period’ below.

Overview:

This Committee Note and the associated Wiki resource contain detailed information and guidance on using the Policy Products matrix in the Business Management Framework, as identified in the Transformational Government Framework (TGF) Version 2.0. It is the first in an intended series of Committee Notes providing further guidance on the Business Management Framework. Policy Products are the written policies, frameworks and standards which inform government activity.

The TGF contains the following statement:

“A full analysis of the Policy Products which we recommend are typically needed to deliver an effective and holistic transformation program are described in a separate TGF Committee Note “Tools and Models for the Business Management Framework”. Although the detailed Policy Products in that note are advisory and not all of them may be needed, any conformant transformation program MUST use the overall framework and matrix of the Policy Product Map in order to conduct at minimum a gap analysis aimed at identifying the key Policy Products needed for that government, taking the Committee Note into account as guidance.”

This Committee Note sets out the range of Policy Products which should be considered in any Transformational Government program. Not all may be necessary for every program, and in some cases a program may wish to meet the objectives of what are shown here as separate Policy Products through a single, broader Policy Product.

TC Description:

The Transformational Government TC advances an overall framework for using information technology to improve the delivery of public services. Unlike traditional e-Government strategies of the past, Transformational Government begins with citizen engagement to assure greater use and return on investment. The work of the TC includes defining the framework, identifying use cases, and providing adoption guidance for governments around the world, regardless of their history in implementing eGov.

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 30 April 2014 at 00:00 GMT and ends 29 May 2014 at 23:59 GMT.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.

With this public review, we are testing a new convenience feature for sending comments to the Technical Committee. The file

http://docs.oasis-open.org/tgf/TGF-BMF-Tools/v2.0/cnprd01/TGF-BMF-Tools-v2.0-cnprd01-COMMENT-TAGS.html

contains the HTML version of the draft with a “[comment?]” link next to each section heading. Clicking on this link will launch your email application and begin a message to tgf-comment@lists.oasis-open.org with the specific section number and title in the subject line. (For example, “Public review comment for TGF-BMF-Tools-v2.0-cnprd01: 1.1 References”) Simply enter your comment and click send.

You must be subscribed to the tgf-comment@lists.oasis-open.org mailing list in order to send your comments. Instructions on how to subscribe can be found at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=tgf.

Note that the Table of Contents doesn’t work in this version and other internal document links may not work in this file. That is one of the items we need fix before making this capability more broadly available. Please feel free to let us know if you find this feature helpful. We plan to refine it and make it a part of our normal public review process.
