[Apologies in advance for the length of this message but thanks in advance for your attention regarding our preparation for GGF16] Dear all, Below are some GF16 Community Council actions that I have captured from our recent meetings, followed by some requests for information that I need from you in preparation for GGF16. Action: Recruit participants for the Vendor Adoption Forum Action: Socialize End User Groups to the VOC (Voice of the Community) documents Please review the most recent list of registrants and let me know if you have suggestions for key people that we should arrange meetings with at GGF16. There are also sessions that should have community representation for this purpose. The spreadsheet attached will be updated with AD 'assignments' based on what sessions you will attend. Please review the spreadsheet and let me know if you, a fellow AD, or designee, plan to attend un-assigned sessions. Action: Prepare for 'Area Report Cards' (including visibility for the successes of groups within the community function) and represent the community council in program sessions Many of the sessions on the attached spreadsheet have already been assigned by Area for the purpose of area report cards (for example, the groups that fall under community areas). Post-GGF16, we'd like to have an Area report-out on community sessions that took place at GGF16. Let me know if I am missing any of your community group sessions, bofs, etc. Action: GGF16 Community Council meetings (f2f agenda, availability for additional meetings, etc.) As usual, we will be holding our GFSG f2f meeting all day on Sunday and as stated above, we would like to try to schedule sidebar meetings with appropriate people to discuss VOCs, End User Forum, etc. Please let me know if you plan to attend GGF16 as well as your arrival/departure days so that wI can start to coordinat schedules. Action: Community Input to Event Survey Please let me know if you have suggestions for other data that should be collected in our event survey. Do you think we should include all program sessions on the final page? We will also solicit the standards folks for similar information. Thanks again for your participation and see you soon.
