Kristen Suchor told me that our application for standing group status had been received, but that was all. Probably take a while on that one.

The open access panel suggestion would be a better fit in that regard than the multi-person panel suggestion below. Maybe we might want to throw out some more ideas it to see if there are other alternatives?

For example, there are always misconceptions in how those new to this topic interpret terms such as "open source" or "open access" (and I would argue misuse/misapply the concepts). As opposed to necessarily focusing on cutting edge IP scholarship that might be interesting to us, but won't bring the larger 4Cs audience along as well towards a better understanding of openness.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dUZSdD-PUeEI6oFhP5zyTfxTde6PmU0OA_HDufJAF20/edit?usp=sharing>) say we'll always have one table for "emerging legislative concerns," and I suspect we should also have one on pedagogy and one on open access scholarship. Do you want to lead or co-lead one of those tables, and do you have other suggestions?

> 3. Sponsored Panel: I heard two possibilities mentioned for this: the journal table suggested a panel on open access scholarship issues, and the pedagogy table suggested a multi-person (8?) roundtable of people sharing stories about tricky issues they've faced regarding plagiarism, copyright, fair use, etc. in their roles as teachers and scholars. I'd like to chair (or co-chair?) the latter regardless of if it's our grey-box panel. Any strong feelings about how to approach this?

> 4. Workshop: There were some murmurs that we should once again submit an "IP in the classroom" W-morning workshop, a plan I like but don't want to lead. Volunteers? We also mentioned that if we put together a pamphlet (or even just a really solid list of links) of practical advice, we could distribute it both here and at the sponsored panel.
