<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The presentation/QA at IC went full time plus a few minutes yesterday and the group was pretty active in the conversation; probably 30-40% of the group asked questions or raised issues. I'm not sure how directly useful
their immediate feedback was to selecting between service model options. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm optimistic we'll get additional feedback mailed in; several said they would write something up and I know of some who either pre-watched or returned to Jess's version of the presentation to make sure they understood
the concepts and suggestions.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">An idea that did emerge and was discussed was that a Center could begin as highly centralized around service delivery and remediation and then evolve toward a more distributed service state over time as institutions built
capacity. At the same time, however, I heard uncertainty about where that capacity would come from in their institutions now or in the future. The idea of a legislative ask for start up funds was floated but without optimism.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">For obvious reasons IC was specifically interested in services that directly affect instruction -- training and professional development, more promotion of Ally, help with vetting and procurement of digital instructional
materials.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Additionally, they were intending to use the presentation as the fulcrum for their Business Meeting discussion this morning. Given that, I think it's reasonable to anticipate a specific collective response, whether formal
or informal. I'll ask Tod Treat for further information about that.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Several suggested that CATO needs a new name and acronym.
<span>😊 Specifically, they resisted the idea of 'oversight'. </span></p>
