I. Updates

II. Additional updates from everyone

III. Budget

Mike will work with Debra and Jonathan to revise the budget based on actuals and current planing assumptions.  Then present here for review/revise, discussion, then on to leadership for final approval at their May meeting.

IV. Communication processes

 VIVO has always had communications closely aligned with core principles and concepts.  As we open up, we want to be sure that VIVO messaging and the VIVO brand are always on point. Planning needed so that VIVO maintains its strong brand identity. Discuss branding guidelines, policies and processes, requirements for mailing lists and whether we can simplify.  Likely the work of a task force.  Short term, items can be handled by Steering Group in close communication with Duraspace staff.

V. Brainstorming about future steering group call topics

VI. Brief discussion regarding mechanics of releasing communications through various channels regarding Project Director announcement.
