**Survey**

Jim reviewed the survey being developed for the upcoming Face2Face meeting 22-May and took a number of comments. In terms of layout, it was suggested to use check boxes for each of the bullet points, or use a scale of 1-5 for responses. The section regarding "in, of, for" architecture will need some explanation. Perhaps a group of questions could be bundled under each area - "questions in architecture," "questions for architecture," and "questions of architecture."

In terms of setting the agenda for the Face2Face meeting, the survey could list topics and a check box for "I would like to hear about this." We should also include a way that respondents could list potential speakers: "A good person to talk about this would be _________."

Also for the Face2Face, we are looking into arranging for a well-known MIT Sloan Professor and author who is focused on the strategic nature of Enterprise Architecture. Other potential topics for the Face2Face would be SOA, web services, IT portfolio management, business process modeling, and model-driven architecture. We should not leave the impression that we are going to invite a lot of talent in as experts, but rather that we are seeking volunteers from among attendees. A line in the agenda could say: "We are looking for volunteers among the attendees, but if you know someone who is outstanding on a topic, please suggest them."

Jim will work with SteveO to turn these ideas into a survey and to post it on SurveyMonkey.

**Face2Face**

The group discussed the Face2Face meeting and some of the logistics. SteveO will follow-up with Columbia to arrange any food and beverages needed, as well as determining the availability and cost of video conferencing services. Jim will follow-up with Ken concerning Internet2 support.

It was suggested not to advertise, initially, that videoconferencing would be available to encourage people to attend in person. Later in the process, those who cannot attend could be offered the videoconference option if it turns out to be available. There was also a suggestion to capture a video of the event to use as a podcast. This may be cost-prohibitive, as it would involve hiring someone to do the video work.

It was suggested to use the wiki for registration, with an April 22 deadline. The information about the meeting will emphasize that this is open to those eligible to participate in ITANA (as specified on the "how to join" section of the ITANA web site. Others may attend if space allows. The information should also emphasize that space is limited.

Paul will set up a Jabber chat room for the meeting.

**Minutes and next call**

The next call will be the first formal open call and will take place March 23 at 2 pm EDT.
