      Image Added

      Who would be willing to be a co-chair? They would like to do this more effectively - Shelley can have Alana be co-chair

      1. Stephen - should an RP be a co-chair? - Chuck P please discuss this when you get together with Winona

      2. NSF request - there is a form for Access Staff to communicate with Access staff - available thru a drop down window - and sending inquiries / ticket info via incorrect space and provided incorrect metadata on the ticket - takes an admin person to fix it (due to Atlassian setup) - can restrict access to form - but it is available to new resource providers and they are struggling to determine a way to address

      3. Sharon - discussed request about surveys - her input was only to reduce the number of surveys - include it in the main one or gather a different way

         1. Winona - they are getting info from a study group and doing RP interviews - and not doing a mass survey

         2. Sharon agrees that interviews is a good way to get info

      4. Jeremy - it is OK and expected to survey RPs - and they do want to be involved and have input in the system - is willing to co-chair

      5. Puri - Would members of the RAC be good candidates for this Ticketing UI/UX survey?
