2. Review ideas on DGOC logistics going forward

   1. team name
      1. since we've evolved our primary purpose (help w/reviewing JIRA requests and facilitate discussions), should we change our name to speak to new focus?
      2. If so, what do we call ourselves? CAT (Community Advisory Team)?
   2. meeting/s time - only one time per month
      1. to provide for more comprehensive discussions: alternate time each month - 9am/13:00 or 3pm/19:00
   3. participation
      1. we could have some members contribute asynchronously (currently have 12 DGOC members -- only 5 or 6 active because of timezone issues)
      2. if Asian members cannot participate, we need to recruit new team members - target of 8

3. Review JIRA new feature requests

   1. review items based on new process/template: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DGOC+JIRA+Issue+Review+Template
