CALL SUMMARY

Location/date

Michelle has confirmed interest from Elon University to host the gathering.  We can use the space, dorms, etc.  She will look at possible dates (late May/early June or early August). 

When Sybril returns from vacation, we hope she'll see what's possible at Belmont.

Other options are also welcome.

Invitation

Most of our discussion was about the invitation.  Some key aspects:

* making it more of an activist call to action

*  appealing to mainstream and entrepreneurial journalists who are interested in innovation -- creating something new is key.  Want to also attract those working for innovation in the existing framework. 

NEXT MEETING TIME

August 6, 10:00am, location TBD (hopefully Seattle Center)
