Executive Summary on Summit Action Plans
This executive summary presents the action plans developed by the Summit tracks in a standard format, in addition to providing contact information for track leaders.
Notes Containing Action Plans
The PDFs below contain the notes from the work sessions in each Summit track where action plans were developed. Tracks approached the action planning process in different manners, and these efforts were recorded in slightly different ways. These PDFs are simply the raw notes taken during the action planning process.
It is important to note that many of the track action plans include the results of brainstorming sessions. For example, many contain lists of organizations and/or individuals. In some cases, these organizations and people were part of the action plan discussions. In others, they were not and were just mentioned as potential partners who may or may not have been contacted about the proposed work. It should not be assumed that any organization or person mentioned in these notes has agreed, or even been briefed, on the contents of the action plans.
