B AJ Bureau of Justice Assistance Management and Policy Subcommittee Mission Statement In approaching its work, the GISWG Management and Policy (M&P) Subcommittee acknowledges the critical need for a governance structure that provides the essential framework necessary for all participants to be successful. That governance body must apply appropriate policy and management practices to ensure successful implementation of a Justice Reference Service Oriented Architecture (JRSOA). Therefore, the mission of the M&P Subcommittee is to select principles for the management and policy processes needed to support JRSOA, and to assist in the development of tools to support implementation of those principles. It is expected that at a minimum areas of consideration would include: -- Service Level Agreements-- Quality Assurance -- Configuration Management -- Change Management
