  • Meeting cadence: how often, and how long each time?

  • Who else wants to co-chair?

  • Who wants to be a named participant?

What should the WG aim to do?

Governance of this working group

  • Should co-chairs be elected?

  • Be ready for when funding arrives

    • May open up parent institutional funding

Participants:

  • Don’t have to do loads of work on SATRE, can also be about promoting or acting as a go-between

Activities:

  • Gap between statements and guidance… coming back to more technical guidance

    • How can we make it easier to translate SATRE into a real TRE?

  • Make more “human” to people, so it can be used as advice, e.g. saying “how” something was done, not just that it was done

  • Use SATRE to support delivery of actual TREs

  • What level though?

  • Reference implementations of SATRE

  • Effort required to gain formal accreditation. ISO? Who can contribute?

    • Given that ISO is an internationally recognised standards body, gaining recognition as an ISO standard (https://www.iso.org/about) might be worth exploring to gain widespread SATRE accreditation. This is their front door to developing standards: https://www.iso.org/developing-standards.html

    • NHSE accreditation process, oriented at sub-national.

    • Submit a paper before applying to show impact it’s had

  • Evaluation of initial specification, mature in some areas

Is a cloud agnostic TRE possible?
