Dear Colleagues:

The joint ACM/AIS MSIS 2016 task force would like to remind all members of
the IS community of the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the
task force's first public deliverable. The document is available at the
project's website www.msis2016.org; you can also provide feedback on this
same site. Please see below for the original call for feedback.

You are also very welcome to join a special session at AMCIS on the MSIS
revision process. It will take place tomorrow (on Friday 8/14) morning
8:30am - 10am (EDT) in Salon 7 (Grand Caribbean Ballroom) at the conference
hotel. This is a great opportunity to participate in the discussion on the
MSIS curriculum!

Thank you in advance for your comments!

With best regards,

=====================================================================================

The joint ACM/AIS MSIS 2016 task force was established in late 2014 to
review and revise the master’s level curriculum recommendation in
Information Systems (MSIS 2006). The task force is pleased to announce that
its first public deliverable is now available for your review and feedback.
This document is a position paper that describes the project’s background
and context and outlines the task force’s current thinking regarding the
project’s direction.

The document is available at the project’s website www.msis2016.org, which
also provides you with directions regarding the ways in which you can
provide feedback to the task force and a link to a survey targeted to
various MSIS stakeholder groups, including faculty. We greatly appreciate
your feedback on the document and survey responses regarding MSIS expected
competences and curriculum topics!

Thank you in advance for being part of this important process!
