Fwd: [council] Updated Prioritization Working Document

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Hi members,

We have been asked to share the attached prioritization document with our
SG/Cs to establish what our group's opinion is with regards to the
priorities on the council's list and share feedback with Council *no later
than 9 October*. Please review and let me know your thoughts.

Dear Councilors,



Attached, please find an updated work prioritization document. As was
requested the last time this document was discussed by the Council, we have
added educated guesses on what the next steps are for each area of work and
based on those assumptions, we tried to assess a level of effort. In
addition, we’ve also added a timeline graphic that tries to show how
current and anticipated work lines up against each other, along with key
inputs/dependencies related to the items in the prioritization matrix.



I want to include some caveats to the things we’ve added, since this
exercise is definitely more art than science. First, staff does not expect
that we got the “What Could the Future Work Look Like” column precisely
right in every instance, nor are we trying to get ahead of Council
decisions. Second, please do not hold us to any of the dates we’ve included
in the timeline graphic, other than for the Latin Diacritics PDP! While we
recognize how useful it is to have a timeline graphic, there is a ton of
guesswork involved; I’m not even sure I want to describe the dates as *
educated* guesses!



Despite the caveats, I hope this attached document proves useful to the
Council’s work prioritization efforts during the upcoming September Council
meeting.



Best,

Steve
