8. Work Items Determination of the products that are possible and select correct set for IEEE The potential markets for products (conference attendees, society members, members, individuals, corporations) Relationship to EAB products, could some presentations/workshops be sold as part of an education product? Search- how do people find what we have, how are they categorized, tagged, what search engine and how do you get to it? Can adding products be automated to minimize cost? Conversely, how do we control to prevent spam? The non profit products for member benefit or training, how offered, how paid for, does the business model support ad hoc products from a myriad of sources The file structures that can be supported, implying which methods of recording How do we make the selected tools available so everyone uses the preferred set. Avoiding units using other channels as we dont support their needs Developing a plan for quality, do we use standards? do we mark quality? What is the appropriate timing to make new recordings available? (within the hour, not for 2 months, or both, does it vary by product) Training plan for volunteers who will be recording without staff support 8-Feb-148
