stakeholders summary

[Ken Laskey <klaskey@mitre.org>]

From the ftf, we had

- direct participants

� -- providers

� -- consumers

- regulatory authorities

- non-participants (innocent bystanders/"victims")

My initial question to the list was whether the direct participants were *service* providers and *service* consumers or whether there were other providers (and by extension, other consumers and participants).

From the discussion so far, I would say the ftf list covers the territory and the direct participants are indeed always dealing with services.� However, the non-participants can include anyone (and possibly anything) else, and their identification is context dependent.

An anecdote that has some relevance:

Last week a judge ruled against a neighborhood group who was trying to block construction of the new Yankee Stadium.� The neighborhood group said the loss of the nearby park and trees would have a devastating effects on the community.� The judge ruled that the trees had no legal standing.� My daughter's immediate response was, "They do in Reston!"� Now I live in Reston, one of the original planned communities, and here you have to make sure your basketball backboards are the right color.� Notwithstanding those philosophical battles, one of the differences in development in Reston is they generally try to save the existing trees rather than clear cutting and�just plowing everything under.� The result is actually quite nice.� In any case, context will often define the most relevant (for modeling purposes) non-participatory stakeholders.
