2019-04-02 Planning Meeting

Key concepts:

• This is an open group–anyone can join.
• We should allow any sub-groups to be formed–no judgement.
• Important that we not duplicate efforts of other groups.

• Debra, Tod and Steven already attend Sys Ops & Mgt SIG meetings.  Is one of them be willing to be official liaison?
• Does anyone in this group participate in the Data Migration Sub-group?  If not, we can recruit someone after we open the meetings up.
• We need to have further discussions with both groups to discuss potential opportunities to work together.

• Tod attends both Sys Ops & Mgt SIG and Data Migration Sub-group meetings so he will start as liaison.  Steven will back him up.

• Holly won't be a member of this group.
• Someone needs to be the convener. 
• Responsibilities include:
  • Putting together the meeting agenda.
  • Leading the meetings.
  • Sending out notes.
  • Reporting the weekly status (could delegate this to someone else).

• Karen Newbery has volunteered to be convener.

Need to decide...

• Should group meet in D,C. June 17-19?
• If so, what will group discuss? (Original plan documented here.)

• Many of the implementers will be attending for other meetings.
• Debra, Karen, and others don't have other meetings so would have to come just for that.
• Could have face-2-face on Wednesday (morning preferred) for those there and have Zoom for others.
• Chalmers and GBV are sending people to D.C.
• Discuss more at next meeting.

• Ready for April 9 to be the first open meeting?
• Agenda started here.

• Yes!
