Objectives:
To review the status of SIP activities and facilitate coordination among SIP Working Groups in preparation for the next annual update of the SIP for FY20-22. Groups will present progress and successes, and address challenges and dependencies requiring resolution, and recommend changes where warranted. Updates regarding governance and community interaction will be provided. We do not plan to hold a follow-up in person SIP meeting, but aim to provide information and guidance to enable working groups to develop and prepare the update of the SIP to be finalized in October 2019.
Participation:
Key stakeholders such as SIP Working Group co-leads and UFS Steering Committee members are asked to attend in person if possible. Additionally, SMEs/Working Group members, relevant directors/program managers, and other stakeholders are welcome to attend.
