the functional requirements of an ODP user's terminal
for the FY-78 to FY-83 period.
3. Membership on the working group will be organ-
ized as follows:
O The chairman from Applications,
O A maximum of two members each from
Processing, Applications, Special
Projects Staff, and Management
Staff,
O A maximum of two representatives
from each interested customer
component.
4. Working group members will be determined by
the chairman during April 1977. The first working
group meeting will be in late April 1977. Meetings
will be called to address specific tasks. The
chairman will regularly make status presentations to
the ODP Board of Directors.
5. The final product of the working group, to

6. ODP will use the Terminal Requirements Report as
a basis for a request for proposal (RFP), to be completed
by 31 December 1977. The RFP will be prepared by the
Engineering Division of ODP with the assistance of the
chairman.
7. The following are working group assumptions/
constraints:
O The terminals will be initially acquired
in FY-78.
O The terminals will adhere to Agency
security and communications standards.
O The terminals will each occupy no more
physical space than a Delta Data.
O A common terminal is desired for ODP,
DDO, SAFE and other Agency components.
It is also desired that the terminals
be used overseas for accessing ODP
data bases. Reasons for not having
common requirements must be documented.
O Existing Delta Data terminals will be
used through FY-82.
O The working group will not consider
procurement issues.
8. The chairman of the Terminal Requirements
Working Group will be DC/DD/ODP.
