      • (updated) appointment of Steve Ray & DeborahMcGuinness as co-chairs of the Tuesday pm Symposium session
        • ... we'll try to feature people who can represent the different perspectives of the various constituencies
        • also: a diverse representation (geographically)
        • and, most importantly, by merit ... based on quality and substantive contribution in the virtual discourse and synthesis phase.
we need to come to some virtual consensus even BEFORE the face-to-face

HCLS interest group co-chairs: Eric Neumann, Tonya Hongsermeier; Susie Stephens (BioRDF taskforce), Vipul Kashyap (BioONT taskforce); also need to engage more European folks, ...

session co-chairs will make the call on how they will be running their session. Please make sure your speakers/panelists are in communication with you (and knows that they are "on"!)
  • finalize on the speaker invitations for the 4/23 & 24 F2F sessions and get the invitations out
    • Peter: how about sending out a blank invitation for 'conveners' to speak (requesting submission of title, abstract on/before Fri 4/20 and then slides on/before Fri 4/27, if accepted to present.)
      • Peter: suggested criteria - (i) have contributed to the forum discourse (with at least 3 posts), or (ii) have submitted their survey response, or (iii) member of the organizing committee, or (iv) invited by a member of the organizing committee.
      • Steve / Leo: open invitation is good; we need to have a process to make sure we have a good flow on our workshop program. Could have people on a panel too (not just a formal presentation)
      • Steve will send this out to [ontology-summit], organizing commmittee members can forward this
    • finalize symposium chair/co-chair & program/agenda - see above
  • discuss the processing of the OntologySummit2007_Survey and forum discussion inputs, and to coordinate on the preparation for the Apr-23 & 24 Summit face-to-face workshops.
    • Peter: devoting part of the 12-Apr-2007 Ontolog weekly call to do it with Summit conveners. Please come, if possible.
  • Discussion:
    • What could ensure us that we are bringing "value" to the community-at-large (or even the world-at-large), with this "Ontology Summit 2007" endeavor?
      • Steve: focus on the deliverables - and what will 'last' (even after all the discussions and the meetings) - that, possibly, could be the 'framework' that everyone could use in the future
  • Outstanding Issue Update:
    • Public Relations & The Press - Steve taking this on
      • Steve already working on a pre-event press release; hopefully one or two articles out before the F2F
    • co-sponsor call
      • Peter: will do one more round of calls, especially to 'co-sponsors' from last year's UpperOntologySummit and to all 'conveners' this year - done!
      • "co-sponsorship" - those who confirmed via the survey has been updated to the wiki already.
    • communique endorsement call
      • Peter: this part was messed up in the survey. I'll make a post to the forum to straighten it out before the F2F. - done!
  • Action Items:
    • Deborah, Leo & Michael to get in touch and start drafting the "framework" - in progress, along with Tom & Pat Hayes
    • Olivier & Frank are in touch now and will get started on drafting the "communique"
    • Peter to roll up the survey database and send it to Ken Baclawski for analysis,; also post it (for open access) so that the session co-chairs sice-and-dice the collected data and make use of them too - done, long with KenBaclawski!
      • note that we'll be devoting part of this Thursday's (17-Apr-2007) Ontolog weekly call to do a final sync-up for the Apr-23 & 24 Summit face-to-face workshops. (see: ConferenceCall_2007_04_19) ... come if you can.
