ACTION - Brent Kemp to follow up with DOC leadership to find out if they are planning any follow up from Virtual MYM discussion; will report back and develop next steps.

Discussion on challenges with virtual:

• Ease of interruption
• Difficulty building new relationships, trust

Observation that most are used to virtual in some form or fashion now, is now the time to push  B2B again?

• Sense is yes, the market is ready
• Next step - market again? Afternoon seminar tying the work done to date to current issues experienced? Put together a proposal for ARA and/or ASTA to help promote and get some discussion going again. 
• Would need to be ready to help people out of the gate 
  • What's possible
  • How to

ACTION - Schedule quick call to dive into this a little deeper; reach out to ARA and ASTA to see about setting up a joint call for proposing the presentations and to assist with marketing and communication.

Document next steps

Randy reviewed the Traceability initiative's work with retailer to grower data exchange for seed sold and planted. Good engagement from participants; hope to have more to show soon; waiting on some funding to come through. Exciting to see that new path for data movement.

Next meeting would be 15 September keeping with bi-monthly, third Tuesday - agreement to this cadence
