Agenda Items
Update on planning social events by lab
We have headcounts for four of seven labs, Ben will update on missing labs. We can contact admin to get remaining numbers and complete request.
Day of discovery
Do we know anything about how agenda has been set, invitations have been made, etc. No clear answers in our discussion. Carol noted regarding early career poster session, no one reached out to NSA or ECSA. Ben asked about opting in for presentations (clarity on process).
Selecting permanent co-chairs for the NSA-EC
Reviewed nominations for chair position. Ben and Kelley received highest number of nominations (5 and 4 respectively), Holger received 2, Olga, Peter, Brad, and Ryan received 1. Ryan recused himself. Discussed options for nomination process-will first determine whether we have any other candidates.
If so, we can create a slate of nominees and do an electronic vote. If not, someone can start a motion to elect Ben and Kelley and then do an electronic vote. Ryan brought up funding for the chair position; Andrew received 0.1 FTE from RAL; we had presented a request to the Executive Committee, for seat at EC meeting and funding, discussion focussed on seat and we could revisit funding.
Action items
Revise request and resubmit once new co-chairs are in place.
