TMGTAC meetings are working well on an every-other month basis. Suggest meetings in January, March, May, (July), September, November
Suggest that we can cut back to 3 TMGSC meetings:
February: Work plan & budget approval
June: 1/3 of way into the year; update on work plan
October: 2/3 of way into the year; preliminary discussion of next year’s work plan & budget
TMGTAC meetings will occur near end of the month; TMGSC meetings will occur near beginning of the month
TMGTAC meetings will occur 1-2 weeks ahead of TMGSC meetings
