Back to Implementation Groups

Subgroup Members:

  • Stefan Falke
  • Rob Raskin
  • Peter Fox

Issues to Be Addressed:

  • Issues related to how we engage people; transparency; communication
  • At all levels – Federation level – cluster/activity level
  • How does ESIP operate?
  • Pathways to participation – need description of who we are; what we do; where you might fit
  • Orientations for new members – liaison with new members
  • Community Engagement Committee
  • Partnership Committee – follow through

Discussion:

  • Motivate people to get involved; get partners to want to participate - technology is not the limiting factor
  • must be able to articulate member benefits
  • clusters/working groups need to meet partner needs
  • wiki enabled sharing information/collaboration - met a need that was previously done by file sharing, in-person meetings, telecons, listservs
  • AQ Cluster has used wiki extensively; in addition, now AQ AIP using Google Sites

Recommendations:
