      1. September Team Agenda planning

         1. people are finding it difficult to contribute to the agenda via using the form

         2. they are uncertain if others have already added that topic

         3. perhaps next year we can use an open spreadsheet

      2. This agenda layout is a new proposed layout which gathers the information that was determined to be needed during our ACO Retreat.

      3. This will allow us to:

         1. Tracking decisions more easily during meetings so we can find them/refer to them much more easily in the future

         2. Make future ACO “To Dos” more easily found and trackable to completion

         3. Assist in meeting management by implementing a “Parking Lot” for items we need to lay aside for another meeting

            1. https://www.lucidmeetings.com/glossary/parking-lot

         4. Adding a mechanism for tracking attendance metrics so it is more easily evaluated and included in various reports by the ACO

         5. Provide for an Overview Dashboard for the EC, ACO, and NSF meeting teams

         6. Provide for an Individualized Overview Dashboard for ACO members

   6. Agenda for Sept Meeting

      1. current agenda draft is too long at 2 full days

         1. reduce down to a day and a half if we can

      2. Lavanya changed Day 1

         1. Introduction changed to 15 mins

         2. Broadening Participation - Shelley - 90 mins - need to make sure she is prepared (she is on vacation now)

         3. Who are our stakeholders? - this is also Shelley - can we combine these two into one 90 min session?

            1. Lavanya will reach out

         4. We can move her to day 2 if she is not ready and move EAB to Day 1

         5. There are 2 sessions on Program Wide Goals - combine the 2 and hold in 90 mins - move this to Day one

            1. just go ahead and move Shelley to later so she have more time - or day 2

            2. Goals would flow into EAB very well

      3. Lisa - has conflicts - 8:30 pacific time conflict - will be an hour + drive time - has all morning conflicted

         1. please make what you can

      4. Afternoon could have parallel sessions -

         1. Community Building and Under development

            1. makes it hard for people to decide which to attend

      5. Brief 20 min update on Working Group progress

         1. could do 3 on 1st day and a couple on 2nd day

         2. focus should be on discussion and what we can get back from team members

      6. Dina - not sure what she could present - but want to make sure she has space if she wants it

      7. Last topic - open discussion of odds and ends

      8. Be strategic with the story bank - harder to be thoughtful about other smaller access users - they are harder to reach than SDSC, U of I, etc.

         1. include Kim in Broadening participation discussion

         2. could communications be included in the community engagement hour? more like engagement?

         3. need to present things around the stories of needs - and the people presenting support those stories
