* Purpose of the framework artifact is to generate more artifacts.
Build off the framework (original artifact) and create personas, inventories, etc and then map the specifics of the site and future services.
* Setting milestones to make framework come to life
The idea is to draft personas for each relationship. Dorian will outline process, start building personas with one relationship to start. Noreen can send him old personas from the 2003 web design.
This will be discussed further at our next meeting as we ran out of time and needed to discuss other pressing matters that needed addressing.
* Any Administrative issues / matters to be addressed
Everyone to send Jeff an overview of the AGM and he will consolidate and send to Noreen.
Volunteers looking to help develop the directory and build on networking tool that is based on the framework that Dorian shared at the Summit.
