      1. CB&E team met yesterday

         1. discussed improving diversity metrics based on users or usage by institution type (Carnegie classification)

            1. curious too if the diversity of non-stem users is different than stem users?

         2. reviewed https://access-ci.org/about/get-started/ , will bring feedback back to comms group - but reception was positive.

         3. of note: since so much is found by search, note that ACCESS cannot be found by searching for these phrases

            1. “free high performance computing”

            2. “free research computing”

            3. “free computing”

            4. Seems that some search optimization may be in order here.

         4. navigating resources is challenging, bringing back a software search would help

         5. diversity of resource providers: no MSIs are resource providers, curious if any have succeeded at CC* proposals? Suggest this would be an important and neglected axis of capacity building

         6. follow-on action items:

            1. add items to the engagement tracker post SC23 - stretching into CY2024.

            2. Ag reviewing demographic items in profile, with concrete feedback from CB&E team

   5. Lavanya Podila and Shannon Bradley

      1. @aco - what is the difference between

         • ACO Action Tracker

         • Program Milestone Check

         • if they are the same - should the link to the left be updated?

         • if they are not the same should a page be made in confluence to manage the Milestone Check?

      2. NSF Dashboard updated - NSF OpenCI Meetings

      3. Risk Register changes that were recommended last week are only missing the Auto Calculation part

         1. Shannon found the “How To” - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/help-to-multiply-value-of-2-custom-fields-in-Automation/qaq-p/1941363

         2. Asked if there was someone to help with this automation
