- Face to face meeting will help us work in our subgroups. Group composition is good particularly the international perspectives, as is helpful as it gives us a holistic view
- May be difficult to keep this group focused because of the diversity of our issues and portfolio. How can we work together to set priorities and maintain focus?
- Shall we consider developing special interest groups that involve non-MAB? May help us reach out to the institutional base.
- There is a need to increase the number of early-career scientists on SAB, and also among moderators_._
- There is an expectation that the MAB can help drive discussions about the future, about how we're going to be different in five years (arXiv.org). SAB is more interested in sustainability rather than innovation right now (due to pressing functional requirements in support of important processes such as moderation). Perhaps the MAB is a place of innovation, and the Scientific Director will collaborate to lead this innovation.
- SAB will form a small group to help with IT prioritization.
- Recommendation: We'll need to factor in the technical development needs of our members too so it needs to involve some MAB/SAB collaboration. There needs to be a negotiation process.
- What is the role of a MAB chair? Facilitator, organizer, conduit, help in the communication between SAB and MAB, particularly in transition year.
- Recommendation: We will revisit the idea of appointing a chair in our next meeting.
