'''Working Group structure'''
*Discussed idea of smaller NDSA teams forming around specific topics and projects.  One challenge mentioned was on how to best coordinate efforts across the organization. 
*Support was expressed for cross-working group efforts (with the Standards WG on born-digital workflows, for example)

'''Activities'''
*Seemed to be good support for continuing case studies and Signal blog posts (Content Matters interview series)
*Member presentations are helpful and should continue

'''Focus'''
*Opportunity to broaden mission/rethink purpose statement

*Reach out to the Dodging the Memory Hole group around born-digital news
