               1. make a framework that helps people share

               2. enforcement - ACCESS not responsible for making sure people do their responsibility

               3. ACO helps EC consider the issue and have EC suggest ways to make it better

               4. that way ACO stays with helping role

               5. say “in collaboration with the EC”

         2. 5.1 - comms and outreach - 5.2 - community building and engagement

            1. outreach - considered more reach out and talk to

            2. is this more aligned with engagement?

            3. This outreach needs better defined or moved?

            4. These are the names listed in the solicitation - so we have held to what has been given to us

               1. this is a cooperative agreement - so we can change at this point

            5. 5.2 - we are not doing the building yet - should we highlight and focus on what we are wanting to build

               1. how do we know it worked?

               2. how do we know people are satisfied with what we built?

               3. make sure we have it defined

         3. 5.3 - evaluation section

            1. shared use of findings across all teams

               1. this sentence could be improved

            2. Shared methods - is this what is intended?

            3. More about the methods than the findings

            4. what is demonstrable - and what was evaluated

               1. beyond looking at the ACO

            5. Target changes to be completed in a couple months

            6. KPI - be sure to include qualitative as well

            7. Possibly include in retreat discussion

   6. EAB

      1. Pulsed the EAB on having a Chair/Co-Chair. Consensus is it would be a good idea, though a couple members expressed concern about excess administrative work.

      2. In person meeting in December - needs solidified

Tom -

Personas - what is this and how is it used?

• Topic about communications and web presence that need unification because discussions being heard seem to lead to think there are differing definitions

• Dina has estimate from Web Development group on helping with guiding thru process of defining and publishing

  • She needs to know who is taking point on this

Next Meeting: 28th August 2023
