Please find below (and attached) a first draft agenda for the first conference call. You’ll see that the agenda times out to one hour, but I would suggest people be available for an additional 30 minutes in case things run a bit long. Agenda – UASG Call – date This first call of a UASG (Universal Access Steering Group) will be used to welcome new participants into the group and identify a structure for the group that will allow full and active participation for all who want to participate. Please note some key conference call etiquette: 1) Keep your microphone muted unless your talking 2) Place your call from a quite place – ie not next to the fire station 3) Speak Slowly and Clearly and don’t be too clever with your language– not everyone is a native English speaker and some people have old ears. 4) Identify yourself when you are speaking Instructions for connecting to the call will go here Welcome 0:05 – Purpose of the UASG and Purpose of this meeting Introductions 0:05 – Round the Table – name, affiliation, area of interest Report on results from the instigating meeting held in January in Washington, DC - Issues and relative ranking - Players and relative rankings for effectiveness and ease of engagement - Other 0:15 Options for Structure of the Steering Group and ideas for sub-group topics 0:15 Things we might spend money on 0:15 Summary and next steps 0:05
