In a letter dated October 30, 2009, Deputy Clerk of Court and Chief Administrative Officer Atty. Eden T. Candelaria called this Court's attention to what might be an inadvertent minor error in the dispositive portion of our Resolution, specifically on the Training requirement for the Chief of Office, MISO. In particular, the Resolution stated: "32 hours of relevant experience in management and supervision." Atty. Candelaria points out that the word "experience" may have been inadvertently typed instead of "training," which would have been more compatible with the category "Training." If, indeed, such an error was committed, Atty. Candelaria requests the Court to make the necessary correction.

The request is noted and granted.

It has also come to our attention that, in our efforts at maintaining uniformity in the QS, we may have overlooked an important component of the MISO Re-engineering Development Plan (MRDP). As discussed in our September 10, 2009 Resolution, the MISO has an ongoing ICT consultancy project with Indra Sistemas S.A. (INDRA), part of which specifically deals with the creation of the MRDP. Among the concerns studied by INDRA is the staffing pattern of MISO and the QS for each position in the office's plantilla. INDRA recognizes that both lawyers and non-lawyers may apply for the position, and recommends the following QS:

	FOR LAWYERS	FOR NON-LAWYERS
Education	Bachelor of Laws and 18 MA	Bachelor's Degree in a relevant
	units in a relevant ICT course	ICT course and an MBA or Post
	or 3 years of relevant ICT	Graduate Degree in a Management
	experience or 160 hours of	related course
	ICT training or relevant ICT	or
	certification	Bachelor's Degree in a
		Management-related course and an
		MBA or Post Graduate Degree in a
		Management-related course and 18
		MA units in a relevant ICT course or
		3 years of relevant ICT experience
		or 160 hours of ICT training or
		relevant ICT certification
Experience	10 years of supervisory	10 years of supervisory experience
	experience (within or outside	(within or outside the Supreme
	the Supreme Court)	Court)
Training	40 hours of relevant training	40 hours of relevant ICT training
	in management and supervision
Eligibility	RA 1080 (Attorney)	CSC Professional or IT eligibility
	An additional project management certification is proposed for all
	managerial/supervisory positions to enable them to effectively manage
	ICT projects.

The MRDP was approved by this Court in a Resolution dated August 11, 2009. Thus, in order to fully implement the MISO's MRDP, we resolve to adopt INDRA's recommendation for the QS of the MISO Chief of Office position. ECDaAc
