   5. Stephen - will be having team member present to RP forum to get feedback from then

   6. Tom F - great for younger participants - great meeting

   7. Tom G - What about agenda building process - shall we keep doing it this way? It seemed to work but had to drum a lot to get input

      1. challenge - more content than we had time for

      2. Hoping to get more input from others next time

      3. Reviews cut in to people’s time who could not contribute

      4. Is better than the alternative of Lavanya having to fill in the agenda herself by reaching out to people many times

      5. Will probably keep this baseline format going forward

      6. Cindy made the Zoom Meeting pleasant

   8. There are some specific initiatives that came out of the quarterly - will need to formalize the next steps to move them forward - we need to make sure they do not stall out
