- New priorities: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MSx4B0v3Nb1d_bB1T7nYprSZFW_kiVYzifH6kIKKd_E/edit#
- Comments on the new priorities:
- Feedback was positive.
- Presenting on this during a future meeting (e.g. AGS) would be useful for recruitment
- Each one of us will need to pick a working group, and need to recruit a junior member to join. The sooner you recruit people to it, the sooner you may be able to pass off the leadership role.
- Should we have the i5k leadership team start figuring out how to set up the working groups first? that might have us lose momentum
- Slack could be used to communicate within working groups
- Working group initial composition:
- Community building/outreach: Brad, Josh, Rob (Slack), Anna (website, YouTube, Twitter), Duane
- Leadership: Kevin? recruit Jay?, Monica and others who participated in the generation of the priorities could help start (?)
- Training: Sue, Teresa, Sarthok, Anna
- Standards: Monica, Marc, Anna
- Coordination: Rob, Kristen, Duane, Anna
- Homework for next time - start organizing working groups. Schedule a meeting for each working group to go over goals. Report at next meeting. Don’t necessarily need to start recruiting yet.
