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 - now using all together to engage many people
• AQ Cluster has used wiki extensively; in addition, now AQ AIP using Google Sites
• stay open to embracing new technologies as they evolve

• The Wiki Is...

• Archival function
• Anyone can edit/add
