Agenda/Notes
Updates from the EAB/PI Meeting last week @John Towns @Shawn Strande (15 mins)
chair and co-chair are drafting recommendations to give to us - want to have it done before Christmas
we will review and bring to EC for review
John and Shawn will be reviewing notes and making a doc that EC can review and add notes to next week
Discuss Website Focus Group/Assessment @Dina Meek (30 mins)
SGX3 will do a presentation on focus group for the website in EC meeting next week
KPI states - will do user group every 6 months
have had some issues getting this done - we have had some relaunches
Charter for Web working group - discussion about strategy vs updating tasks/technical implementation and what their focuses should be
EC should make clear what this group should do
This impacts getting web pages aligned
how can we be more dynamic for page updates?
we could hire an agency to manage all this - but our pages are built on different back ends - all would need to be ported to a single back end
March Program Wide Meeting @Lavanya Podila (15 mins) - Quarterly Meetings
Discuss potential location options and present to EC next week?
Tempe AZ
Chicago - if we use Big Ten center it could be free to us (need to schedule soon)
Possibly Indianapolis
Audience - PIs/Co-PIs and leads similar to Boulder meeting?
Will there be a full day EAB meeting as well? day or day and a half program wide quarterly
Lisa - will all the PIs be willing to attend in person?
depends on schedule - we need to get it on calendars - schedule for EC meeting next week
Earlier in March
week of 4th? Tues Wed Thurs, March 5, 6, and 7 ?
leadership would be in a different meeting
rest of EABs will be virtual
Week of 18th is bad for Shawn and Cindy
CASC meeting - March 12-14
Annual Report - ideally we would review with EAB before submission
Next Steps after Mid-Year Review @Lavanya Podila
need to have program wide meeting before review
will also have a quarterly report due - end of Dec gets returned in January
should include Metrics - we should start talking about them at next week’s meeting
We may not get input back and be able to start addressing things until probably January
we should start drafting our responses to that report
Where is google doc from the review where we can start collaborating? - we don’t have one yet
Would this include the request for additional/supplemental funding?
Review EC Milestones - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12sZ2sS2Zx0O7-WIvdZg6EBhyVYEgBw1mvzm_PamxcIQ/edit#gid=0 (is this the right link?)
Review Action Items - google list has been migrated
put remaining ones on Action Tracker in Confluence -

Notes from Dina:
For convenience, here’s what I spoke on in our meeting today:
There’s much to consider in structuring any focus groups for our web presence including:
Expectations per our KPIs
“User group focus group to be conducted every 6 months”
The status of the Charter for the Web Presence WG
Feel the need to move from more technical management to strategic management
Some current team members aren’t comfortable with that
They’d rather just be told what to do, not so much figure out strategy
Charter indicates EC should assign more strategic folks to that group
Work being done by the Personas WG
These could impact who we SHOULD be including in focus groups
Updated websites being launched; Support’s recently relaunched and Allocations thinks theirs will be launched in January
A proposal that I have from our agency to lead focus groups
The proposal being presented to the EC on 12/19 from SGX3
I think we, as an award, need to be on the same page in how we want to execute. Please let me know how you’d like to proceed in discussing this.
