        • 2021-06-11 Tim and Huda had a meeting to discuss priorities and approach.  Main concerns were showing user reps advancement in features and . Tim working on mockups on redesign; will not implement – but will present to user reps to decide which options. Not prioritizing anything functional at-present. Will make sure pages work well when there is not enough data on the page. Will put prototype in position that we feel more comfortable when people play with it. Concerned that if show same thing at user reps, will be unproductive... but question whether anyone will remember. With more robust prototype, hope will yield more of a decision. Tim does not have much time to work on this (2.5-3 weeks) – aiming for user rep meeting in August
        • 2021-07-02 Huda and Tim discussed work to do on DASH before user reps meeting
