 * Agenda**

jjs (3/22): I haven't thought of a role for anyone from TLC to play in Friday's class, but it depends on what appears on our agenda. AC3/22: Maybe a group work session to wrap up loose ends and load everything up. Then, we could spend some of the session looking at the other group's section and ask any //initial questions// we may have before we leave class to examine doc for next week. GR3/22: I don't think we need someone from TLC to attend...I think it should just be time to get the draft together...and figure out who will be reviewing what.. EI3/22: Maybe the first half (or less) for group work, and the rest of the session to look at the other group's section. If we are not doing anything else, I see no reason for asking TLC to join.
 * Let's have a discussion here about someone from TLC joining Friday's class! **

george 3/22 - don't think you can do all the reviewing in class - suggest a simple swap for reviewing - unless you each want to have two other teams review. Simple swap would be something like wildlife - farms; water - connecting. If each team would like two reviews, could do something like ... wildlife reviews farms and water farms reviews water and connecting water reviews connecting and wildlife connecting reviews wildlife and farms

george 3/22 - another item - nobody is looking at / organizing final presentation yet - when does that begin to happen? Perhaps while waiting on external reviews, but you might want to start thinking on it. Amanda C. 3/28--In my mind, the presentation is the easy part, and can be done once we have a solid report in hand. The outline will be the same as the report essentially, and take images, facts, and results from the text. I'll be able to think about the presentation once the technical notes are completed.

george 3/22 - see message I just sent out to Kevin and Tandy RE final presentation.

Tandy, Kevin,

The final presentation of the State of Environment is scheduled for Friday 7 May 9:30-11:30. It's really important that we have a good and constructively critical audience at the presentation and discussion.

Can I count on you to get this on staff and appropriate board member calendars?

We will likely do this at NCSU, unless you have a better location. We can provide parking passes with no problem.

Please let me know if you need further information before getting the word out.

If anyone is interested in progress, you can send them to http://conservationsuccess.wikispaces.com/StateOfEnvironmentSpring2010

Thanks! george


 * Notes:

- Decided on groups to swap: ** - A. Wills: Reported to class on copyright issues: consensus was that the "rules of copyright" are pretty vague so if there are any questions and/or concerns about possible copyright infringement then one can discuss this concern with the class. - Broke up into groups for the rest of the class period for discussion and putting sections of report togethe r - For next week:
 * Wildlife/Connecting People
 * Farmland/Water
 * Probably should have the attorney at the provost's office take a look at a complete copy of our report, no decision yet on when this should happen.
 * Read and review swapped sections
 * Make appropriate edits
 * Send out to external reviewers by Friday
