Goals and Objectives Review by @Heather Kirksey. See the bullets in the Agenda

OC discussion:

OC is a resource to the Task forces, provide support, mentoring of Task Forces, not to make the decisions. OC members of a task-force should be agnostic.
It is important to understand that all opinions matter, and while they may not be adopted, they will be considered.
OC mentors are assigned to specific task-forces, see agenda for assignments.

Task Forces Discussion:

Review of the task force Scope
Sign up on the Task force Home Pages
Will operate independently, expect they will inter-communicate with each other
No constraints on meetings and collaboration methods
Goals and Time lines will be provided and task-forces are asked to meet those.
Need POC and Lead from each Taskforce - The lead/POC should not be the OC member, Marketing is an exception.

Tools:

Review of Wiki:
- Temporary space, not a permanent repository
- Dashboard for Single pane of glass - tasks form each Task force
- Home Pages for Task-forces
  - Sign up there to work on a task force
  - Place to keep your Task-force action items and other collaborative notes.
- GitHub Chapter 6 in CNTT Gov not currently in use - Re-purposing for Meld
  - Please send recommendations to Scot for structure
