Agenda/Notes
Updates from EC meeting Shawn Strande
Community Engagement Update (Jay Alameda)
Broad vision: The OpenCI vision for the ACCESS program and the NSF Blueprint both require community-building efforts across the nation’s CI ecosystem to expand participation to new and underserved communities and deepen participation in existing communities. This community building and engagement team must be recognizable to these communities as representing the broad ACCESS program.
Want to understand where we stand with respect to the following activities (my starting point):
Virtual Community Building and Engagement Team
Open CI member(s): Alameda,
Representative from each service track
Representation from the CSSN established by Track 2
CSSN faces 2 ways
Researcher community
CI community
Engages both communities to advance adoption of ACCESS services and resources within broader ecosystem
(Engages CI community to support elements from broad set of investments for the research community).
Forum for ACCESS service and resource providers from Track 3, which is another stakeholder group to engage.
Where are we with respect to these initial actions defined in the proposal:
Rapid launch of cross-track community building and engagement coordination
Participate in ACCESS transition summits coordinated by OpenCI > form virtual community building and engagement team with goal of calling its first meeting within one month of project commencement: Have we done this yet? Have the tracks identified community building and engagement leads to participate in this group?
early goals (community building and engagement activities that)
promote transition to access
draft information-sharing processes for cross-track team activities
documented understanding of outcomes desired by each track’s community building and engagement efforts
coordination plan that will support these efforts
Longer term goals (abbreviated from my notes):
Community Building and Engagement Plan: maintained by virtual team and available across ACCESS program
Community building and engagement teams collaborates with communication and outreach team
Work with service tracks to assist their activities discussing CI and RCD, focusing on promoting campus-level engagements
