      1. Panel Review Grid - item 7: where did the “How to Handle” come from?

         1. This is the link Dina is talking about: https://access-ci.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACP/database/811466766

            1. Task: Create Communications Stories or metrics to track how ACCESS is contributing in practical ways to society to use for talking points when approaching non-traditional HPC communities.

            2. How to Handle: Suggest the ACCESS Communications Standing Committee consider spending some time distilling talking points from these stories to support those directly engaging with non-traditional HPC communities as well as others. Perhaps these talking points can be maintained on the ACCESS Communications Standing Committee wiki pages as a resource to any ACCESS staff member engaging members of non-traditional HPC communities. They could also be formatted into flyers for people to use at conferences. They could then be added to the website for easy access.

         2. The “How to Handle” came from the responses sent to NSF - this is pulled from the report:

         3. Recommendation 1.6: Showcasing how the science being enabled by ACCESS is contributing in
            practical ways to society would allow for talking points when approaching non-traditional HPC
            communities. Perhaps this could be done through metrics or communications stories.
            The ACO does highlight the impact of the science supported through science stories, events support,
            annual publications, and social media. This recommendation suggests the ACCESS Communications
            Standing Committee consider spending some time distilling talking points from these stories to
            support those directly engaging with non-traditional HPC communities as well as others. Perhaps
            these talking points can be maintained on the ACCESS Communications Standing Committee wiki
            pages as a resource to any ACCESS staff member engaging members of non-traditional HPC
            communities.

         4. The last part of the “How to Handle” came from Shannon - pulling in a comment made in a previous NSF meeting

            1. They could also be formatted into flyers for people to use at conferences. They could then be added to the website for easy access.
