MWG Meeting Follow-Up

[Tarver, Hannah]

Hello, all - 

I wanted to check in after the kick-off meetings last week — I don't plan to do this regularly (unless folks find it helpful) since I'm not usually a fan of more e-mail — and most of this information is now listed at the end of the meeting agenda documents in the "For Next Time" section.

A couple of things:

• I have asked DLF to set up a recurring meeting on the 3^rd Friday of every month (this is the time that the majority of respondents said they would be available).  If there is interest, we could discuss occasionally having other meetings at another time to allow for other members to attend.
• I asked for a link to add the invitation to your calendar: https://clirdlf.zoom.us/meeting/tZAlce2gqD0pHtMoBnqK0MUIgC2es8AwRcY2/ics?icsToken=DHX12_XGC7Bkx1qxGAAALAAAAHSlXkhtU0ZbIUBp5LOYemyH6e0e0QOZ9B1wQ1_uEDxFzjgg1aiXTrkP1BhvZXpXDcz2UbuwcFnfayuCAzAwMDAwMQ&meetingMasterEventId=ujZRKemTSc-RBhivwfNF6Q
• There was tentative interest in forming a sub-group to talk about metadata assessment issues related to AI, depending on participation — to join the work of any sub-group, contact the leader:
• Website: Anna Goslen,  gos...@email.unc.edu
• Tools: Annamarie Klose, klos...@osu.edu
• Benchmarks: Hannah Tarver, hannah...@unt.edu
• AI topics: Xiaoli Ma, xiao...@ufl.edu
• Please feel free to continue updating information in the planning doc and also the meeting agendas (I tried to add notes after the meetings, but I'm sure I missed some things)
• Agenda from 2026-02-18: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x04azLlppLBbK_YhepRsSOG2Nf_ALBrIQ8D2Fa9OlXc/edit?usp=sharing
• Agenda from 2026-02-20: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-ejleh_Z_OxPKpcKtynL5G5QJI_WMdrn9I0pOdNguuo/edit?usp=sharing
• We are moving ahead with shared documents to facilitate asynchronous projects — I will start listing active asynchronous projects at the end of e-mails when I send out invites each month — see below.  Please feel free to start working on any of those documents.  (I also included notes/clarifications to the lists in the agendas.)

Thanks to everyone who was able to join one of the meetings.  As always, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best,

Hannah
