Continuation of AI policy discussion from last meeting.
- Asking for thoughts on how AI is affecting the community currently, or other communities you are a part of, in anticipation of the Samvera Board developing a lightweight AI contribution policy (Heather & Julie)
  - This is an example of a policy in another community .github/AI_POLICY.md at master · openedx/.github
- TLDR; a “Human in the loop” policy. We currently aren’t seeing any negative effects reported by other communities so far.
- “Does this mean we should no longer accept github dependabot? Do we need a contributor license (CLA) reinstated? Should we bring back an ‘allowlist’ of contributors/tools/sources" - Mary Bussey
- CLA is required per a new fiscal sponsor Appereo Foundation so we will be bringing that back soon - Heather Greer Klein
Hyku accessibility tickets (christine)
- VPAT is complete 🎉 There are a number of tickets available to pick up to address accessibility issues. Maybe they can be considered in the upcoming community sprint.
  - Tracy is already looking into a few of them.
