Agenda Timeline (Finalized on Feb. 2, 2021)

We will try to keep to this timeline as best as we can. However, discussion items may take longer/shorter than anticipated and as a result, the agenda may need to be adjusted during the meeting.

We will start roll call promptly at 10:15 am on Feb. 16. After this point, the co-chairs may decide, during the meeting, to adjust the timeline based on the discussion.

All times in US Central. (Last Update: Feb. 2, 2021)
