Agenda:
1. The Overview - An Update from Robert
2. What else are we going to be authoring?
a. Steph - Whiteness: A microsocial analysis of Dialogue and Deliberation for
" " Social Transformation
b. Nancy - Strategic Use of Conversation??
c. Nancy/Linda - Next Steps
d. Anyone else??? Anything else from this Idea Collector’s group that Robert
" might mention in his Overview?
3. Brainstorm on how we might send out a mini-survey to DandDTrans participants
asking them just 3 questions:
" 1. How has DandDTrans influenced the work they already do?
2. Have they initiated any new work projects as a direct result of
DandDTrans?
3. Would they like to continue connecting with others in some sort of
ongoing way moving forward such as "trusted sharing" or perhaps
periodic virtual dialogues on a variety of subjects? Or....???? (We
have the opportunity to list some things that any of us might
wish to pursue post DandDTrans to see/assess interest.)
4. A Possible Codigital Survey to assess for Convergence around Project Ideas
5.? Network Nation work?

Notes:  
 
Robert's Overview:  Good feedback has been shared.  Chris has done some very useful work.  Ben has shared thoughts through Linda [Actually, I sent an email to everyone!  Ben]  that he has incorporated.  Conversations with Nancy related to the world of development of the field has been lifted and is in this.  Tom also gave some comments and has been in touch with Linda with her comments.  Has adoped about 85% of the suggestions.  His intention is that it is intended for a broad audience...not just for the participants that attended our DandDTrans.  
 
The overview covers the DandDTrans from 12/15 - 1/31/15.  The goal was to harvest.  To point to the success that came to an invite to which there was a substantial response   - not necessarily with amount people, but with depth.  He wanted to highlight the building of relationships.  He wanted to speak about the uplift about the experience and the tools that we explored together.  To highlight that more people excited about doing things...especially about pieces that might get added.   
 
The fact that there are so many relationships that have formed he has beefed up due to Ben's encouragement.  Things keep getting yeasted in terms of new projects, etc....things that are emerging yet.  He is trying to motivate the reader to get to the highlights in the HackPad.  The next group that might arise might benefit from what this group did.   And there may be a way to measure what we were intending to do  - especially what Ben and Linda were trying to do early on in their writing.  This whole effort came a whole long way toward accomplishing what they had in mind.  
 
Ben R:  Will be interested to see the next revision.  Wants to see how the pieces that haven't been submitted will get put in.
