notes back up:
no corp logos but sharing on linkages so people can share on their networks. proposal: link on homepage so people can share out on their networks
People don't know that USSF is on any of these platforms, but we are. Is an important communication tool so people know where we're at.
Sidebar could be distracting to content on front page of site, will splash pages be annoying. Need to go back to ICT for discussion and agreement.
Culture has been following the convo--at what point will this be complete? Excellent tool.
ICT meets tomorrow night.
Give and take important but we should have a time period for it.
If we move fwd w/o ICT having discussed again, any ramifications or consequences?
Bad practice in general to do this. OC has right to do this and implement as decision of OC. We had a convo with comms wg folks that is different from current proposal--wasn't discussed with ICT, esp linkages on every page. OC essentially imposing its decision upon ICT. ICT objection to proprietary software isn't obstructionist but is a principle people believe in. ICT not sure it understands this.
There has been over a month of discussion on this. Understanding there have to be mechanisms and processes for checking in. Comms and ICT will have follow up convo on the nuances around this and give a report at face mtg in Detroit. All support, No opposition, no abstentions.
