    2. none

    3. We do have a meeting - no real topics to discuss at this time

  2. Change Template for Quarterly Reports - @John Towns

    1. Review Template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1guE9HK0khmDUyHwg1RM5wJfghxn5oUL_g33BXqtzJaA/edit?usp=sharing - do we really need to move to this? It has not been decided yet - although Sharon says she does not recommend one way or another you can tell she does like the format - however, what we report on is much different from other technical teams and the format may not shorten as much as just change the order

      1. Lisa - This will be a wall of text if all the images are sent to the Appendix - we could consider not sticking all the visuals at the end - good communication is good communication and we could include some visuals where it is appropriate and just move some to the end

      2. Dina - Like that this is now organized according to goals

      3. Cindy - there was already a lot of duplicative stuff in the previous reports and the other reports were so excessively long - if this shortens it - it might be better - but we don’t know yet

      4. Amit - it has not been decided yet - we have 3 quarterly reports and 1 annual left
