Notes

Status of the 2022 Platform Development Plan

• Need to determine when is it good enough
• Set a date and put a version date to share it (September 20)
• Want it in a form to share by the EIC
• Tom and Tom are borrowing information in the communication plan
• There are few things in the plan that we’ll need to circle back to later, or don’t need as much detail at this point - add notes as an Appendix
• Note parts that are still to be completed or where we need input to the document from workgroups
• Freeze the plan on 9/20

• When we get to point of needing actual work in the workgroups, how do we get that work done?
• Need someone to bring the technical issues to the different groups
