can make it and will bring your ideas for what will make the CDF worthwhile for you. We already have some good ideas contributed (see

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello CDF members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we look to the new year, we would like to have a CDF call where we talk as a community about our priorities and interests in the CDF. For the last couple of years, we have worked to schedule webinars from repositories or from related
programs and activities. Overall, attendance has been reducing. <b>Let’s brainstorm about options and priorities for future CDF activities and directions at our next CDF call on February 19 12:00PT/3:00ET</b>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We want to hear from you, but to get the thinking started, here are some options for future CDF meeting foci:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-White papers/knowledge summaries: identify a topic where we either want to speak as a community to outside groups (e.g. to funders, to publishers), or we think it would be valuable to bring together our knowledge on a topic to help data
facilities. An example was the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YrwHUIBtJEO0Qju4Q8a8BIk7065QGDcJ854u0Zt8-5s/edit?tab=t.0">
Registration Considerations</a> document we produced in 2023. This could be something that rolls out over several meetings and/or is done within a working group. We could generate the topics ourselves, and we could also ask groups like NSF if they have topics
they are interested in. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Panels on topics of common interest, with multiple brief speakers and extended discussion time. E.g. “How is AI being used by repositories right now”?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Or a similarly, “Tool Time”: multiple short presentations from members where each presents on a different tool (approach, standard, technique, etc.), and how it has, or hasn’t, helped that data facility.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What would make CDF something you are excited about attending</b>?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
