      • Decision to focus on LC Demographics - modest size and widely used (no wonky alarm), new vocab so folks are working out how to integrate 
    • SF- reached out to Jennifer Baxmeyer and Nancy Lorimer about PCC prioritization of QA work. Current thinking acknowledges that we need POCO/others to make leadership decisions about core vocabs to make sure are serviceable, and also possibly fold in QA UX questions into the larger Sinopia UX discussion.
  • WP3 - Which parts of LD4P2 should we take forward? What is a good candidate for production? Are there new areas of user research?
    • ACTION: look at Blacklight and Cornell meeting notes to better understand what people liked... and what is near-to production.
    • Started brainstorming document after all
    • Question: If considering a "deep dive" meeting, who would need to be there that hasn't already been in a preliminary meeting?  Project directors? Other LD4P3ers?

  • Note that various buttons on
