Agenda:

- Sam Wyatt (U. Arizona): Overview of Treasure Map, a tool to coordinate an visualize multimessenger astronomy observations.  This will include an overview of how the API works to submit and retrieve information.  See more information in Wyatt et al.  2020.

- Aaron Tohuvavohu (U. Toronto): Future planned Treasure Map functionality, including requirements for information that needs to be standardized and machine readable.

- David Sand (U. Arizona): An overview of SAGUARO, a multi-institution gravitational wave follow-up collaboration involving a range of telescopes.  See also Lundquist et al. 2020.  This is one of many similar collaborations, and will give us an idea of the needs of astronomers for any future communication system or MMA institute. 

We look forward to talking to you then!
