   7. Comments:

      1. web site - ready for more improvement

      2. Teams feeding comms news - intermittent - difficult to get everyone to feed news

         1. lack of attention and time available to work on comms items - difficult for all teams

      3. thinking strategic regarding what to be involved in

      4. From Kim: what about an “ACCESS Resource Spotlight” and we have a story focused on these (https://allocations.access-ci.org/resources) in each newsletter? and/or, make sure we are covering stories about all of these appropriately on the website instead of it mostly be expanse and bridges2 stories just because ken and i are avid science writers….

   8. How can this team help?

      1. Lavanya helps with back office

      2. meeting with Jay

      3. May lean more on Shawn if he has time - has a good grip on comms

      4. Feedback is most helpful

      5. Brainstorming ideas

      6. SGCX - has a free service to review web usability - https://sciencegateways.org/our-services/consulting-services

      7. What is the process for evaluating requests to the comms group

         1. they want to be agile enough to work on everything brought to them

         2. they do meet as an internal group to determine priorities and close loop with stakeholders

         3. Comms process - need visibility into status of items in the pipeline

      8. From Kim: Stephen is going to send us a 2023 journal pubs list that is sorted by resource providers so that we can determine what would be good stories to feature about some of the “smaller” RPs that we haven’t yet covered

   9. Chartering Web and Branding and Communication - status

      1. Shawn just sent out a notification to everyone with the templates

      2. Have not started using them yet - but is on to do list

      3. reporting up through the WGs would help with visibility/awareness of what is going on

      4. How can they make their tracking system visible to the EC/ACO - maybe a month view?

         1. take a screenshot of the system?

         2. Lavanya will help Dina see how to get a printout from the system
