Please add your thoughts on what worked at this meeting.

Vision statement sharing helped us see where everyone was coming from (Curt)

The group surfaced key issues in Open right away, especially the need to take a stronger position on access and inclusion - beginning with who's missing from the Working Group. (Curt)

Please add your thoughts on what could be improved at this meeting.

More time for digging in, exchanges around key issues, maybe in small groups or at least logging thoughts for followup on index cards or PollEverywhere (Curt)
