Lisa: Significant contributors not yet added.

<julierawe> Lisa will change "Issue Papers" to "Research modules" in the titles for each paper

Lisa: Supported decision making review will be Tuesday 1AM EST. We can have a follow up session after.

julierawe: shared decision-making is a recently added term, maybe worth taking out as it is a separate 'lane'

Lisa: Safety and Well being might be a good one to bring up as well - does have content related to algorithms and AI, curated content.

Lisa: Wayfinding paper is still missing user needs section. Should we show folks or not.

<kirkwood> +1

<Eric_hind> +1

julierawe: Lack of title reference to 'digital'. Paper is not clear in the title, could be virtual, web, etc.

<Gareth> I need to drop out, catch up Thursday.

julierawe: Suggest adding technology wording to the title.

<julierawe> Suggest changing the title to "Technology-Assisted Navigation (Wayfinding)"

charli: Found title confusing, agree with revising title to give clarity about the subject of the wayfinding.

Lisa: Objections to APA having a look at these issue papers?

Lisa: Are we OK with sharing what we have with APA and AG?

<julierawe> Call for consensus to share these draft modules with APA and the AG?
