Agenda/Notes

  1. Approval of summaries from prior EC meeting @John Towns (5 mins)

    1. 2024-10-29 ACCESS EC Meeting Agenda & Summary

    2. No changes

  2. Discuss Summarized Results from Panel Review - @John Towns [DEFERRED UNTIL NEXT WEEK]

    1. Summary was sent via email to EC members (in September)

    2. Should Sharon and Puri attend?

    3. John will email the info so we can discuss next week

  3. Share findings from Quarterly Meeting @Lisa (15 mins)

    1. provided report - discussed in meeting

    2. Need to compare with post-meeting survey - Lavanya’s survey has 1 comment re: expense vs benefit and we need to see if we can determine if that person was in person or virtual

      1. survey does not ask if person was virtual or in-person

      2. we should probably update the survey

    3. Report leads to recommending at least 1 meeting in person per year - should discuss what cadence we should eventually lean toward - possibly 2? please let John know

      1. Sharon - if NSF is in agreement with having an in person - it would require funds for holding meeting - it would require travel money - we can’t take too long to submit a request for a supplement

      2. Can we ask for the next 3 years? We would need to make a strong case for approving 3 years - they may not be able to approve 3 years at a time - we cannot put in a combined request either - it needs to be individual to each award

      3. As an EC - should we move forward with planning 2 in person meetings per year and requesting supplements in the appropriate manner - yes

      4. Send them a draft first

    4. Make sure to keep making agendas different styles to optimize virtual vs in person

    5. How can we leverage meetings people attend anyway to have more in-person meetings

  4. Spring 2025 ACCESS Quarterly Meetings - discuss plans and funding (15 mins)

    1. discussed above

  5. ACCESS Ticketing System Standing Committee Draft Charter @Tim Boerner (2 mins)

    1. Please review and provide feedback/suggestions/concerns in the doc

    2. Representatives from each ACCESS team and the RP Forum are needed. Recommending an RP serve as co-chair.

    3. Bring back for a vote next meeting

    4. There is a new template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sUK2Gl87mKZVTPG32BdxqOOF_tuzojxKP0rZECiEci0/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.58key5dvz0vu
