§Analyze strengths, weaknesses, and relevance of different approaches for meeting V2V/V2I needs:
□Holistic vs. Organic:
▪Holistic: A total systems or systems engineering approach—May be valuable to inform the 2013 process and other processes
▪Organic: An evolutionary approach to incrementally implementing the system and running early on and learning by doing—Builds confidence with the things that work early on, a way of “growing” a system. 
□Centralized vs. Decentralized
□Hybrid
□Others
§Identify what different types of governances are needed for V2V/V2I.  Governances typically exists at different levels: 
□Regulatory governance – involves typical decisions on price setting, anti-trust issues
□Public policy governance & values – involves moral / social values, issues surrounding privacy
□International governance – involves international affairs, national security and defense
□Others
§Examine the different processes or functions of governance. 
□Functions help work towards certain goals, such as trust and interoperability.  Mechanisms will need to be developed to perform each function.

Step 3:  Develop Governance Options
This is a complicated system because it involves different types of governance each with its own processes but also all levels need to interact with each other.  Each type will also be in various stages of development, creating an unstable matrix of collected decisions as what is being governed changes over time.  Acknowledge that different stakeholders (government versus private sector) move at different paces.  Also, different processes give you different types of legitimacy.  Start by taking an inventory of the various governance structures currently in operation.  Determine what would be needed for the Connected Vehicle program and consider how existing structures may need to evolve.  What would be needed that is completely new?
There are several common themes present in various examples:
Best if you commit yourself to a representative process – map everyone at the table
Identify sub-groups of expertise – this worked well when larger groups were broken into subgroups on technical issues versus policy
Size of the overall group matters – there are optimal sizes for each particular problem to encourage engagement
One suggestion is to examine what the FTC has done regarding privacy.  They have created FIPS – Fair Information Practice Principles – a series of reports, guidelines, and model codes that represent widely-accepted principles concerning fair information practices.  DHS FIPS are probably the most modern example.
.  Each time a decision is made about one of the processes listed below, the principles should be revisited to see how they measure.
