We discussed the change in direction for JSMIN. Comments included "natural", "not as forced". "getting in the habit of thinking beyond ourselves", "see others as a sounding board." For example, it now seems natural to ask a colleague how they do ARL stats. The encouragement to go between teams was cited as a benefit. Something like WorldShare as a footprint in every team. There was a question about how to be sure there were no missed opportunities for TSI and the consensus is that we have good will and momentum and that opportunities will be picked up in the natural course of things.

We discussed the agenda for the Team Leaders meeting on Oct 21. We will share the JSMIN Minutes one approvedonce approved. Ask them how they feel about the change in direction and whether after 4 months working in phase 2 whether their charges make sense. Are they experiencing the more "natural" ad hoc approach with conversations whether than planning for integration and does that seem comfortable? Are there irrelevant aspects to their charges? The Non MARC Team has some specific questions to follow up on that may have relevance for others.
