First meeting 9/13, next meeting 9/27
First meeting (summary notes: 1.0 Initial Meeting - Sept 13, 2022 )
Consensus for informal working group rather than formal committee with charter
focus on coordination and information sharing rather than policy setting
Introductions and community identification (only)
No discussion yet on track level community building and engagement plans
No substantive discussion on diversity and inclusion work at the track level
No discussion on coordinating community building and engagement plans (ACO level)
No discussion on coordinating diversity and inclusion plans (ACO level)
No discussion on tracking diversity and inclusion work tracking
(XSEDE: this was handled/coordinated with evaluation, and leveraged data from the central database. I think this warrants discussion here, as to the best approach:
Are we using the central database in a similar fashion to XSEDE?
Should evaluation be tracking/measuring our diversity and inclusion baseline and any subsequent improvements?
Next meeting
continue to topics not covered in first meeting:
What kind of relationship do we seek with our communities?
How can we expand participation to new and underserved communities?
How can we deepen participation in our existing communities?
This lays foundation for virtual community building and engagement plan
