Anticipating COVID-19 outbreak Coronavirus: need to plan for the Partner Meeting in April. It may be that we will have more remote participants than usual, it may be that it has to be wholly remote - a short meeting online with a compressed agenda. Decision to be made on March Steering call (3/27).

Aim for first 2020 call during the first week of April.
Announce to Partners as implementing their wish that a Fundraising group should continue. Email them when the result of the two invites is known.
Discussion of approach to this and the need for a decision very soon on sponsorship, or not.
Sponsorship last year did not prove particularly beneficial. As the majority of the fundraising team were on the call a decision was made not to repeat the experiment - especially during the introduction of the contribution model.
Partners and any not-for-profit organizations should be able to have an exhibitor table for a nominal fee which covers the related host cost. Hosts to administer this.

Mission statement Marketing WG decided that the current vision statement contains elements of mission and suffices for the moment. Pursue an alternative strategy: to identify things that illustrate our fulfillment of the vision statement. We have a new version of our publicity tri-fold which incorporates the vision statement - to be used at Code4Lib in March. US letter only, will be added to wiki as soon as we have a companion A4 version.
Anything for next Partner call?
