Regarding the University Plan, I am back from vacation and various life/work blockers, so I have time to focus on the University Plan. The current status is:

1. I will fill out the New Project Plan and get it submitted.
2. We are now ready for the Needs Assessment meetings with higher education institutions as per the document. I will work with Namrata to get those scheduled and get them kickstarted.
3. Meeting with Russ early next week to work on the activities we need to get kicked off as a part of the project and set up a recurring meeting for the project itself.
4. Will continue to update and refine the document and upload a new version here or when we create a project space we can place it there.

Thank you for everyone's patience and look forward to working with everyone to create a great experience for higher education institutions engaging with the GSF!
