Topic 24 Supplemental Recommendations
by DiBiase, Gregory May 4, 2024

May 4, 2024

Dear Councilors, At our April meeting we adopted all supplemental recommendations except for those related to Topic 24: String Similarity Evaluation. Due to time constraints, we did not decide how to proceed with further evaluation of Topic 24. In the interest of sustaining momentum, Leadership is proposing the we add the new work re: Topic 24 to the small team assignment form (see attached), then allow the small team to consider a strawman proposal developed by Staff. After evaluation of the proposal, the small team will return to Council with its conclusions on whether this proposal is viable, and if so, provide draft language for the Council to consider. We do not believe amendment to the assignment form requires a vote, and the Small Team can start their work as soon as the strawman proposal is delivered by Staff. If any Councilors disagree, please respond on list and we can discuss at our May meeting. Thanks, Greg

Aspirational Statement
by DiBiase, Gregory April 29, 2024

April 29, 2024

Dear Councilors, Staff and Leadership have taken comments from the most recent draft of the Aspirational Statement and tried to incorporate them into a new, clean draft here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QioeB3MAWb9J38tvz5wSjRULPpbeeNoZvLZH6qL… Please note that we have tried to incorporate the comments and concerns without losing sight of the purpose of the exercise: a clear and concise statement that Councilors can bring back to their stakeholder groups as guidance. At this point, we have been through a couple rounds of revisions, but have yet to find language that works for everyone (i.e., language that is not heavily edited). If Councilors have significant pushback on the language here, I think we should consider tabling this effort in the interest of efficiency (i.e., labeling it a nice idea that didn't work out). Please comment in the Google Doc and we can discuss at our next meeting. Thanks, Greg
