From ACCESS: may get asked about this at the quarterly meeting
What is going on with CTAP?
What happens next for Community Building and Engagement?
What have we heard from stakeholders? (5 mins)

Area updates (10+ mins)
ACO
working to complete the post Shawn outline plans for next steps
Is there anything needed from NSF to add to what Amit/?? will be doing for ACCESS? not at this time
We did create a list of things that everyone is doing - inventory of tasks - some have changed/and increased as time has progressed since the start of the project
Evaluation
Eval plan revision was completed
In talks about plan for next year
Review Metrics based on surveys - this is in scope with review of program wide goals - will be discussed at quarterly meeting in September
Communications
National Science Foundation (NSF), ACCESS-AI Chip Center for Emerging Smart Systems? - what is this
the acronym stands for ACCESS
ours was not trademarked
this is in Hong Kong - https://inno-access.hk/
Is not associated with NSF or us
Tom G - suggests after Sharon get report out about SCIPE - perhaps there is something in communications that could help
Communications should build up the Navigator/recommendation system when it comes out - and really make it a big deal to make people get excited about it
Can do campaigns - just need to know what should be promoted AND what the priorities are
How can we build Opening, clicks and read through for internal newsletters? (our industry is ~30+%)
Working on website and taglines, EC planning, lots of additional things
