6	Discuss ADAPT goals – what do we want to communicate that was accomplished in 2017?	Group discusses ADAPT communications goals.	ADAPT minimum viable product - make it clear how to implement for this (need definition of minimum viable product). For companies that want to implement more, give them application notes on how to do that. OEM - get them to create plugins for MVP ADAPT workshop should be planned Webinars not the best medium in past due to technical nature 5 most important specific messages to be identified; boil down to a 5 minute webinar to have in Spanish and Portuguese for AGN. Would be good to have an ADAPT webinar - need materials in place Susan Ruland (Unlicensed) at mid-year meeting recheck on progress of MVP and ADAPT efforts in Europe. check with this group on promotional activities to bring more people to the table.

Precision Ag publication - maybe setup interview with Dan for PAIL standard Joy Powell - farm/producer publication would like to promote more of our work. Maybe opportunity for PAIL standard.
	Application Notes		Reviewed Application Note proposed format to follow single sheet 2 sided flyer. There are many topics to cover in Application Notes to be developed over time. Each one encapsulates a specific implementation problem within ADAPT. Susan recommends giving it a unique format/look to easily recognize Application Notes apart from flyers. Need numbering scheme. Think about a PAIL oriented series of Application Notes as well. Susan Ruland (Unlicensed) to propose a template in the next couple of weeks. Consider calling it Implementation Notes instead. Need more brainstorming on a more generic term that makes sense to even lay people.
11	Next PAC Council meeting – review goals, social media request, members needed for AgGateway Communications Committee.	Inform team on when next PAC Council meeting/call is, and idea of Susan sharing promotional plans on that call.	Next PAC Council meeting to take place latter part of February.
