Hello IIG Members,

We have a winning day/time for a standing monthly meeting. Mark your calendars for 3pm EST/12pm PST the 3rd Monday of each Month. Because January 15 is MLK Jr. Day and many people will be off work, we’ll skip January. That makes our next upcoming meeting February 19 at 3pm. Join us online at https://www.uberconference.com/clir-dlf and/or connect by phone at 202-750-4186.

I’ve started a Google Doc for meeting agendas and notes here https://goo.gl/9qLXdq. We can add to the same Doc each month, so there’s just one place to check. Feel free to use it as a community note taking document during meetings.

Based on the conversations we had at the working lunch during NDSA 2017, we’re going to try and schedule topics for each meeting and have a facilitated discussion by interest group members. At February’s meeting, we’ll review the topics we discussed at the working lunch, add new ones, and designate facilitators for as far out as we can go in 2018. Some of our discussion items from that working lunch may take other forms, such as working groups if there are tangible outputs involved. We’ll also discuss the National Agenda.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Happy Holidays!

Nathan
