Hello Project Team,<BR>
<BR>
Frances and I have worked out a plan for producing the Scorecard and associated products. We will be asking your help in a carefully scheduled sequence of discussions and assignments in order to stay within our project timeline. Please review the Project Tasks and Timelines, linked to the website (http://sfcommons.net/hosted-groups/scorecard)<BR>
<BR>
These things are happening rapidly in the next three weeks:<BR>
- Frances will send out the draft Scorecard this week<BR>
- Conference call to make decisions on scoring-methods and graphics: Thursday PM or Friday- I will send out a Doodle notice to determine a good time for all. We will assign a lead on the scoring of each of the three main indices.<BR>
- Leads will provide draft indicator status scores, trends, and a one-to-two sentence summary of the basis for them by Aug 1. These will be plugged into the Scorecard.<BR>
- There will be an in-person meeting scheduled in August to:<BR>
- discuss look and feel<BR>
-
come up with grades for each index and decide whether to use a straight average of the indicators or weighted averages.<BR>
<BR>
After
that there will be emails getting you started writing your parts of the technical
reports, so we must all be on board with our scoring and graphic
decisions.<BR>
<BR>
Another urgent message to project managers: YOU MUST INVOICE at end of July. We have not had invoices from some of you for many moons and this is an important time to check our balances. <BR>
<BR>
Thank you, and please watch for the Doodle emails and respond promptly!<BR>
<BR>
