    • Stefan: Developer Track for website will be delivered end of next week (by June 6); Block 1-5 headlines with short abstract to each block
  • Delivered by email at Jun 6


  • Developer track status
  • Status Stefan Sauermann
  • Program has been delivered, but not taken up yet
  • Scope still as in Istanbul: A high-level technical course for newbies to get in touch with IHE profiles and testing
  • Issues:
  • Mohawk college not available
  • Stefan has issues with funding, his university sees no added value in this to fund this trip and effort
  • Eric has not responded, must be taken as not available
  • NIST is willing to participant, but there are differences in opinion on the scope/curriculum (NIST would rather go on technical details of profiles)
  • No advertisment has been made yet
  • Person certification program (which would be a driver for this) is not yet in place
  • Question: Shall we keep that or abandon for this summit?
  • Discussion:
  • Mike: suggests to keep it up, do extensive marketing and form a team of Stefan/Steve Moore/NIST
  • Stefan: Curriculum exists, slides could be presented by anyone skilled. Level of content is a bit too "low" for NIST
  • Jürgen: If we start doing marketing we must make sure that someone runs the track and everything is in place right in time
  • Decision:
  • Step 1: Chris will ask peer-to-peer Steve Moore for taking up responsibility of this track (Eric Poiseau or NIST are second candidates)
  • Step 2: Decide afterwards if we continue with the track, depending if one of them takes up the responsibility for this track


  • Announcement plan and marketing
  • Jürgen: It's really silent about the summit. We must start doing intensive Marketing immediately
  • Chris:
  • Several email blasts are planned including the summit and some exclusively for the summit


GDC Committee status

  • Decision on next call
  • Postponed


Any other business

  • Education committee
  • Proposal: Start with it as a sub-comittee of the GDC
  • Discussion
  • Stefan would try to attract persons out of the IHE education network he has access to this group
  • Already started whitepaper should be continued
  • Mike proposes to postpone this decision to September
  • Stefan is ok with the delay, but it shall not be further postponed
  • Decision: Definitely targeted in the September 3rd, 2014 call


Next call (World Summit sub-committee)

  • Jul 8, 2014 (instead of Jul 9, which is blocked by IHE International Retreat)
