   1. Sandbox - Team Science Framework

   2. Also related to Stephen’s info on how the EC can improve

   3. Perhaps consider that in tandem?

   4. Might be more for EC and its interaction than teams and their interactions

   5. People are going to review

   6. Recommendation: set aside for now and see if it may help what Stephen has identified
      

4. Decision needed on Follow Up Item from last year - John Towns (5 mins)

   1. Jira Legacy
      server System Jira serverId 2b19a5eb-335e-31ed-9427-a9e4284ae7b5 key ATT-12

   2. This is suggesting more than just “What Conference” - this would also include more outreach, talk to a school/class/group, etc.

   3. Since we don’t have an Outreach track anymore - is this feasible now?

      1. 15 minutes spread around might not be bad

   4. Are we missing things that we might need to know about - that we would get if we opened this up?

      1. are we at a - you don’t know what you don’t know - point

   5. Reaching to the broader community - is still reaching to people who already know about us

   6. How to find people that don’t know us if we don’t know them?

   7. Page would need described appropriately - and make it understood that we can’t do everything

      1. include why we are asking

         1. we are out here

         2. we have something you might be able to use

      2. a 15 minute presentation over zoom to a smaller group might be advantageous

      3. Provide an intro to NAIRR pilot as well

   8. SAIL meeting, PI meetings, etc.
      

5. Quarterly Meeting Agenda (10 mins) Stephen Deems

   1. Recommendations from the planning committee (Aaron W., Tom M., Cindy W.)

      1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uqE2XHGqa0hdUtMFYpeI0aRe_XnQVLbvcDYZ5ZEL_xk/edit?gid=0#gid=0

         1. There are 11.75 hours of proposed session time, which would fill our 1.5 days

         2. Six topics (below the purple line) were “sent back” to the EC for further consideration:

            1. Three topics seemed to have been worthy of a “PIs” or “EC” meeting since they may not be relevant, or useful time spent, by all attendees

               1. “Project Staffing & Resource Allocation: FTEs, Scope, and Timelines”

               2. “Organizational Chart”

               3. “Functional Units Interdependency Inter-dependency Mapping Exercise”

               4. “Preparations for Annual Reviews”

            2. The “Report from Previous Quarterly Meeting Evaluation” was recommended to be a separate report-out session that could be hosted over Zoom

               1. Comment - this would be important for full quarterly team to see

               2. Lisa said she could reduce time frame - 60 mins is too much

            3. The “Government Changs Changes and Effects Moving Forward” was a recommendation by the planning team themselves, but ultimately may not be in scope of the meeting

   2. EC Discussion & Recommendations:

      1. …need to send out info for planning travel as soon as we can

   3. Next Steps

      1. Meeting Planning team will fit topics to a proposed agenda, once input is received from EC

   4. Supplemental funding has not arrived - we have until next week to cancel with Hotel and March 3rd with the Big 10 Center

      1. would revert to a Zoom / Virtual meeting
         

6. Next Week’s EC Meeting (5 mins)

   1. Conflicts with NAIRR Pilot Annual Meeting
      

7. Discussion on Compliance with EOs (e.g. DEI WG) (10 mins)
