  2. New name, new focus
    Review ideas on DGOC logistics going forward
    1. team name
      1. since we've evolved our primary purpose (help w/reviewing JIRA requests and facilitating community discussions) we've resolved to retire DGOC (served it's purpose over the last few years working on big projects)
      2. current group members will now join the "Community Advisor Team" or CAT-->with new focus on facilitating discussions on new feature requests
    2. meeting/s time - only one time per month
      1. moving to only one live mtg time a month -  top allow for more dynamic discussions: alternate time each month - 9am/14:00 or 3pm/20:00
    3. participation
      1. resolved that we would do the bulk of our new feature reviews outside the mtg
        1. each week, 1 CAT member will start discussion amongst CAT about a JIRA issue of their choice - summarize issue and proposed CAT recommendations for feedback
        2. other CAT members make comments asynchronously 
        3. CAT issue discussion leader for that wk will post summary to JIRA issue and, if issue ranks as highly relevant/broad community interest and high priority the issue will be taken to the broader DSpace community for full discussion - confirming interest, outlining requirements, soliciting those interest in working on project
      2. team members
        1. currently have 12 DGOC members -- only 5 or 6 active because of timezone issues
        2. we will reduce CAT membership to only those who are / will be actively participating in discussions - target of 8 active members (need more active Europeans and/or Asians)
    4. proposed mtg together w/cmtrs at OR11 - join their cmtr mtg
    6. proposed mtgs w/cmtrs
      1. propose weekly DCAT discussion leader join the weekly cmtr mtg, report back anything relevant to DCAT
      2. all community, particularly cmtrs are welcome to attend DCAT monthly mtgs
      3. propose DCAT to join the in-person cmtr mtg at OR11
    7. process refinements
      1. pick issue and sign up on the discussion schedule - each member to lead one discussion every 6-8 wks
      2. propose that everyone give an up or down vote on the ratings/conclusion: +1 or -1
