Members present were Cody Smith, Pete Englin, Warren Madden, Tom Lindsley, Meghana Akella, and Evelyn Beavers. Eric Abrams was not present. Staff liaison Brian Phillips was also present. Campustown Plaza Focus Group Planning: Karin reviewed that enough people would be available to have a good discussion with a focus group during the next meeting. She would like to prepare a plan to discuss with the focus group. Tom raised the idea of affinity mapping, using sticky notes on a wall. Like-minded ideas could be grouped together. Evelyn expressed support for having the purpose statement on the wall, and to discuss at the start where the Commission is in the process of planning. Karin asked whether the location should be identified at the start. Evelyn and Cody supported that idea. Warren asked whether the selection of participants for the focus group might cause other stakeholders to feel left out. Karin expressed that the limitation of participants is to keep the discussion manageable, and others will have other opportunities to participate in the conversation. Pete encouraged sending in advance to the participants, the mission statement, and the questions of what they would like to see and not see in the space. Warren suggested that the uses of the space should be discussed. Pete suggested asking what other things the Commission should be thinking about that it hasn’t discussed yet. Karin asked how the messaging should get to the participants. Pete liked the idea of Karin sending a uniform email to all the participants in advance. Karin proposed that Tom lead the discussion at the meeting. Tom expressed willingness to do so. He proposed that the participants be adding to the discussion and the Commissioners asking clarifying questions as needed. Evelyn suggested telling the participants about the time frame for the discussion. Tom hoped to keep the discussion to less than an hour and a half. Adjournment Pete moved the meeting be adjourned. The meeting adjourned at 11:28 a.m.
