Dear Community,
This is the agenda format that we used with some success last meeting. This week's list of items is shorter, so we should be able to better navigate through it. As an issue of primary importance, it would be helpful for us to complete the discussion on infrastructure; it can focus our discussion, set priorities and the systems of accountability that we have asked for.
To manage our brief time effectively, it would also be helpful for everyone to check the agenda in advance to determine what reports you are have offered to be responsible for, the places where your experience provides clarity, your input into project work, or assessments of how project components are working.
Looking forward to seeing you.
