TAC Meeting 2016-09-28
Wednesday, September 28, 2016 @ 12:00pm ET @ TechEx
12:00pm ET
Agenda
We agreed on a single agenda item during our meeting planning call: what are the big concerns facing the community? Each TAC member was to come prepared with one or at most two top concerns. Those not attending the in-person meeting were to contribute on the mailing list.
Notes
The discussion could have gone on much longer. The table below reflects the strategic concerns brought forward by TAC members. The TAC discussed the concerns and then each TAC member choose what she/he see as the top three concerns facing InCommon. TAC will complete the prioritization process in future TAC meetings. A concern/reminder was expressed that everything in the table is important and that some of the voting focused around what we should discuss next and be actionable.
