Online Community of Practice Steering Committee
Again as mandated to CATAAlliance at the Halifax Summit, participants identified the need to create an Online Community of Practice for outsource providers, knowledge leaders and government stakeholders to interact, and which should serve as a gateway to those seeking Canadian sourcing expertise.
This site - described by Summit attendees as needing to become the NASSCOM (http://www.nasscom.in/) for Canadian ICT - will require the participation of private, public and academic stakeholders to help establish the vision and provide a detailed framework for the creation of this online portal.
Those interested in volunteering on this Steering Committee should contact Kevin Wennekes, VP Research, before January 15, 2007 at kwennekes@cata.ca.
