Notes

  • We discussed network and innovation strategy.  We need a larger community discussion. First step would be a strategy brainstorming workshop, to synthesize views and issue, possible as a two-day event back-to-back with a CTO F2F in the fall, possibly facilitated.
  • EOSC: we like
  • There is a need for a network strategy discussion, and a network innovation discussion. Or both.  LF / JK to bring this to the board. Maybe start with a tech strategy brainstorm workshop.
