1. Update w P Stoyko - Deliverables

• Peter Stoyko addressed the committee, offering an opportunity to provide feedback on style and interactive elements related to the ToIP infographic.
  • A complete version of the infographic that can be manipulated and tested by committee members will be available to the next meeting.

• Will Groahasked if it may be possible to layer-in audio
  • In future iterations, yes.
• Chris Ingraoasked if the infographic will feature visual cues/indicators on the left side to show how technical elements interact with governance.
  • Yes, but elements on the left side may be minimized depending on where in the stack a user is "clicking."

  • Will Groah adds that elements from the Editorial Calendar can also be linked to relevant parts of the infographic
