Planning MOCA 2020 and Tasks

[Esperanza Stancioff]

Hi All,

We (Parker, Ivy and I) have been steadily working on getting our symposium together. I am looking forward to meeting with you all on Monday morning at 8:30am. Zoom link again below. 

Both the registrants and the agenda are attached. We have a wonderful crowd of 67 people attending; and we were concerned we wouldn't get enough! Ivy has been rallying the legislative contingency and Parker and I have focussed lately on the agenda and of course the logistics. We didn't mean to leave anyone out, it has just been going so fast and with all else that everyone has going on. 

It will be important for all of you to have a look at the agenda prior to our mtg on Monday so we can make some decisions regarding format. As you can see we were planning on two breakout discussions so we need to revisit this-- should we have these breakouts with such a diverse and important audience (we would need several more volunteers for facilitating and notetaking), or should we have one longer breakout so we can have a continued discussion and more time for large group reporting? Zoom is also a bit clunky with this many for doing breakouts. Those are some of the decisions we need to make on Monday. 

I think this is going to be great and with your assistance, we'll make sure it is.  Hope you are all doing well.

Cheers,

Esperanza

Dear OA Google Group,

Please disregard and delete the message I sent earlier. My sincere apology for sending this out to the entire OA community. It was solely intended for the our MOCA steering committee for a planning meeting regarding our December 10th Symposium. My apologies also to our steering committee. For those of you registered for the December 10th meeting we'll be sending information to you in the next few days.

Best,

Esperanza
