10. NATO Architecture Capability Team (Architecture CaT)
19 June 2012

11. Vision and Near-Term Activities
“…committed on delivering key architectural products to support the federated C3 EA development as key governance tool for the achievement of NATO's Strategic Concept goals.”
Who:
16 countries + several NATO organizations in roster
Upcoming activities:
Architecture CaT Workshop NATO HQ
Architecture CaT Meeting # 4 12 Sept at NATO HQ
19 June 2012

12. Architecture CaT Current Work Plan
“Propose the structure and develop the content of the guiding framework for the development of a federated NATO C3 Enterprise Architecture, reusing national and NATO artefacts.”
“Nations are requested - in the context of the C3 Classification Taxonomy - to provide by the next CaT Meeting their key concepts for enterprise architecture, including definitions of terms; …”
“[Task 01] Harmonize and modernize Architecture Governance & Policy Documents”
“[Task 02] Assess NAF vs. TOGAF and make recommendation to C3 Board for (board action)”
