Notes from previous meeting:

1. Virtual Connect Survey Review
   
   1. Zoom Survey Data here
      1. IIIF is working on a workshop week (June 1st through June 13th)
      2. DEC is working on online workshops
      3. Notch8 is exploring what they are doing with their August workshop (which was scheduled to be face to face)
      4. Suggestion that we might seek a keynote speaker from an institution that would probably never be able to host a conference - Princeton?  Hull?
         Posters:  JF will flesh out some ideas for a (partially?) asynchronous approach involving Google docs
         Lightning talks are likely to be even higher value in the virtual environment.  Need discussion breaks for people to be able to build on the ideas poresented.  Maybe need a group of volunteers ("connectors") to encourage lightning talk proposals.  NJ will put together a proposal.
         Unconference sessions offer the physical conference a wrap-up which facilitates the move to further, asynchronous work.  Need to find a way for people easily to have follow-up conversations.  Discuss this next call.
         Need also to accommodate WG/IG discussions - perhaps Slack Channels offer a way to do these small group discussions.
   2. Plan on 4-6 x 3-hour days (a 15-18 hour time budget).  People can decide how much of this they will engage with if it is structured well.
