Meeting minutes

review last week and items added to the Github

Jenn added more definitions work to GitHub, please add or email

continue to evolve maturity model

hear from Sheri on maturity model group discussion

Sheri talk about MM discussion

Sheri: MM group met, but open to changing Proof Points to "evidence"
… group preference is for monolithic MM as oppose our preference for module or flavor addressing equity

Sheri: Took a scan to think what needs changes, a couple are a good fit. Some are not.

Jen: Seems like we should join MM task force

Sheri: Bruce and others agree with that approach.

Tzviya: We talked proposed single group at time MM began, and Equity group was separated out.

Sheri: We could combine, or two separate activity, and there was earlier concern that MM was too broad.

tzviya: Do we have input from sustainability groups?

Jen: Not other than we individuals.

Sheri: So that would imply equity as subgroup of MM. Sustainability might also be a subgroup.

Sheri: Could be other activities, like idenitify MM

Sheri: MM is a TF of APA
… MM started as community group

tzvigya no way to formally join APA , formality throws people.

JenStrickland: Would be trickly to pull MM out of APA.

Sheri: MM can reorganize as needed.
… if not good fit, can move

bruce: can MM be standing agenda item for APA

JenStrickland: MM and Equity a good fit under APA

JenStrickland: When I have tried to promote Equity under AGWG it has not been a good fit.

Sheri: Adopting MM to include Sustainability not much of a lift.
… Just could start with Access MM generally.

tzviya: Not a problem we need to solve today.

Funding for 508 is long time grumble within Federal government.

Sheri has to re-enroll as Invited Expert

My apply to other active participants as well

SDO (e.g. ISO) also has to sell copies to sustain company.

Jen: Looking at MM draft, we have some references to evidence...
… so we will go through MM draft considering where we need to integrate equity

Sheri: I will add in my notes from framework...
… somewhat ironically culture and support work well as-is
