6. Do you think it is important to review our founding goals and agreement for emergency or urgent communications?

   1. Yes
   2. No

   You may see the founding goals and agreement on page 7 of this document. You may hear the discussion of this topic from the meeting video.

8. If you answered yes, would you be willing to serve on a committee to do that? This committee would meet a couple of times virtually and present their suggestions at a future meeting.

   1. Yes, I would like to serve on the committee.
10. Currently the informal structure of the group involves two co-chairs (Kristin Prelipp and Alicia Stemper) who help to coordinate the meetings. Do you have a suggestion for how to structure the group for sustainability?

    *Note: During the meeting I shared that I (Kristin) am willing to provide continuity by remaining as the "secretary" to maintain the member list, media list, and calendar invites. But perhaps from year to year a member or members of the group would step up to plan out the four meetings, as well as arrive early to meetings to help setup (along with the host) and stay to clean up.

12. Do you want to co-chair the group?

    1. Yes
    2. No

    Hear the discussion of this  topic from the meeting video.
