Feedback https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddSl_7MXVPpIJMsJfu6HKsbAjw5emYKK/view?usp=drive_link
Not what entirely expected/planned, but turned out ok
Two sets of perspectives helpful, well moderated
Seamlessness made it intimidating to ask questions
Very high level
Little time for questions
Alicia wanted it to be less “slick” and less intimidating! ;-)
Blog post with slides and notes
Have post ahead of time with explanation of content, terminology
Example https://blog.archive.org/
Who will be in charge of this?
Would have helped to have more provision of vocabulary to use / engage
Next year have clearer expectations, coordination with EDDI

Arofan - ⅓ people who knew DDI, presenters; ⅓ newer people at institutions using DDI; ⅓ curious people, local people not familiar with DDI
Have tutorials clearly targeted

Fiscal vs calendar year
Currently written to calendar year
Provide option for to Alina and Hayley
Scientific Board : Hayley/Alina want them to have final approval. Do they meet often enough to allow for the necessary flexibility?
A happy with input/direction, but worried about delays
Would TWG chairs be happier with webinar series under Marketing (once it exists)? - then less under remit of Scientific Board?
But not cut TO out of loop
Webinar series its own subgroup, under Training and Marketing groups?
