Notes

Statement on VIVO’s direction for 2019 (Mike, round table discussion, 20 - 30 minutes)

• Mike Conlon summarized the process to date.  We settled on 4 big ideas from the last leadership meeting, and steering reviewed these.
• Mike summarized the Statement of VIVO’s Direction for 2019 document.

...

• This is focused on 2019 only, not beyond.
• The statement also clarifies what we are not doing to do in 2019.  
• Individual comments
  • Andrew W- Agrees with document. It’s useful and important.  Question about VIVO search- Is this for 2019 or beyond?  This document was original designed to be for the leadership group, but may need additional content for an external audience.
  • Alex V.-Agrees with document.
  • Terrie W.- Likes that document is concise.  Agrees with document.
  • Julia T.- There is a lot we don’t know yet, but it’s good for us to move forward on the same page and decide on things as they come up.
  • Hannah S.-It’s a nice reflection of all of our work and discussions.  Are the 4 items ranked in order of priority?  Are there dependencies?
  • Ginny P.- Agrees with document.  Also interested in order or priority of the 4 items.
  • DJ L. -Agrees with document.
  • Doug H.-Agrees with document.
  • Anna G.- Wants more detail on the 4 items.  Perhaps mention data sources for the VIVO combine.
  • Mike C.- We can clarify VIVO combine.
  • Tom C.-Agrees with statement. Seems very technically driven.  Should we emphasize community aspect in addition to just the product direction?
  • Ann B.- Agrees with document.  Agrees with Tom that the statement needs an introduction that states the overall mission and goals of VIVO which are motivating this product plan.  This will help provide context for an external audience.
  • Erin T.- Agrees with document.  
  • Jean R.-Hasn’t had a chance to review document  Will email group later with comments.
• We'll vote to endorse this statement via Google Form after this meeting.
  • This will probably happen next week.
