Summary: Study Group 17 is now clearly facing a growth problem in many dimensions and whilst this is a good problem to have, it is still a problem. - In one hand the strong and fast evolution of Security is the result of many external forces leading to a massive innovation and prompting SG17 on considering if it has the right structure for the future - On the other hand, resources not being infinite what shall SG17 consider to offer an efficient structure for the future In many ways, a Study Group is like a company which product is called a 'recommendation' and which needs to understand how to structure its 'portfolio' in the right 'business units' called essentially Working Parties and Questions. Like in a company, the success chances are heavily related to how the organization is setup and how are leaders allocated to this organization. So, it is of the most importance, especially now in the current moment in our history, to pay a particular attention to the future structure of security studies. As wisely, a correspondence group for the transformation of security studies was setup in the course of this study period, a lot of work and thinking was already delivered and documented including methodology, potential models, even examples for new structures and even a story for the study group. Yet this knowledge is very diluted in many TDs and it is necessary now to regroup all of this work into a live document so that we can collectively develop a new approach for SG17. This document proposes a technical paper whose purpose is precisely to address this problem by regrouping our knowledge already produced in a living document and offer a vehicle to help SG17 community with a strategic approach to transformation of security studies.
