    • Doug / Ken: everything seemed to have gone really well
    • many communities were engaged and people conceived
    • the goals seemed ambitious, surprised that so much got achieved
    • the ability to accept dynamically evolving material into workshop was great! ... much more exciting than a conference that's planned six months in advance.
  • What needs improvement?
    • summit goal of "inclusiveness" got missed by some, especially in the beginning
    • breakout groups and team assignments could have improved if planned ahead (but then, it does depend on the group dynamics at the time)
  • What will we do differently next time? ... how? ...
