I agree and hope we can end the meeting with a plan and some action items 
to make progress on that front.

That's a tougher problem. Participation is voluntary and there isn't much 
we can do to force people to work on this. The charter sets the 
expectation to dedicating a day a week to this work but I'm afraid most 
people can't afford to spend that much time on this. I'll keep trying to 
push forward but there is only so much I can do. If you have specific 
suggestions on how to make us progress faster, please, let me know.
Thanks.
