Cost and technical factors were the decisive factors, discussion regarding user experience being a key factor that needs to be evaluated.
Alex to reach out to Julie Ma from MATCH to analyze potential user support issues,
Timeline - Start work with Cirrus on March 1st and have 3 month overlap with DUO, September is when they have to renew DUO licenses, so the goal is to complete before that.

(approved)Enhance ACO Communications John Towns (15 mins)
Bi-weekly meeting with the ACO (at least John, Shawn, Jay, Dina and Lizanne) and the awardees?
EC has agreed for bi-weekly meetings with the awardees
ACO will start scheduling 1 hour meetings with the awardees
ACO can send a representative to some of the in-person meetings that the awardees have?
EC has agreed for an ACO member to attend some of their team meetings
Frequency - Perhaps once a month
ACCESS all staff program meeting, in-person or virtual?
EC agrees to the benefits of in person meetings
Discussion regarding possible options - one annual in-person meeting followed by virtual meetings, quarterly versus semi-annually
Cost is a concern
ACO to come up with a specific plan for program wide interactions
EAB meeting agenda planning Shawn Strande (15 mins)
Suggestions -
10 minutes per awardee instead of 15 minutes
Targeted feedback on forward planning
Some elements of the awardees presentations should include accomplishments and what's coming in the future
It's a good idea to share presentations and any other info well in advance so the EAB members can get upto speed
Feedback that can help flow into the annual reviews
ACO's slot can be used to share the history of the program, tell a story, what we have achieved and set expectations. Communicate with the EAB that this is part of the alignment process and we'd appreciate your input into making it more cohesive
Also, communicate with the EAB that all the awardees will be reviewed independently in their annual reviews
