         1. There are 11.75 hours of proposed session time, which would fill our 1.5 days

         2. Six topics (below the purple line) were “sent back” to the EC for further consideration:

            1. Three topics seemed to have been worthy of a “PIs” or “EC” meeting since they may not be relevant, or useful time spent, by all attendees

               1. “Project Staffing & Resource Allocation: FTEs, Scope, and Timelines”

               2. “Organizational Chart”

               3. “Functional Units Interdependency Mapping Exercise”

               4. “Preparations for Annual Reviews”

            2. The “Report from Previous Quarterly Meeting Evaluation” was recommended to be a separate report-out session that could be hosted over Zoom

            3. The “Government Changs and Effects Moving Forward” was a recommendation by the planning team themselves, but ultimately may not be in scope of the meeting

   2. EC Discussion & Recommendations:

      1. …
