Liasons: 4/24/2013: David Dilts, Lynda Avery, Wilma Adkins. New liason for Support is Robin Foster (instrumental with getting our presence on Facebook, blogger, etc.) replacing Lynda Avery.

Purposes:

• Transparency: Making an effort to be open about activities in order to avoid surprises and duplication of effort.
• Improved communication: Each group needs to know what is going on with another group. Also the community.
• Collaboration: Hope to generate synergy, pool ideas, work together on projects.

2013 April 24

Discussed purposes GS-WAC issues:

• Global maps -- David will ask
• Strategy -- to help management know we are trying to reach beginners;
• Business reports -- working on this with Janell and others
• Wiki page formatting -- Where to place a table for beginners, and other formatting problems.
• Metadata for Historical Records -- working on a way to generate the metadata by computer; purpose is to bring users to the pages. On the verge of that happening now, will shorten the time and make a better process.
• Volunteer pages -- a form was put on by Support and have over 30 signed up. Some look very trained.
