2. Next phase Hubs proposal (see Melissa's slides attached)
   1. Need for a new name to current Steering Committee in the next phase, as NSF used "Steering Committee" for a different entity in the solicitation (one that oversees Seed Funds and participates in cross-Hub governance for the National Coordination Entity)
   2. current SC named "Community & Stakeholder Committee" in the proposal --open for discussion
   3. aims of the new Hub - more service-related
   4. new co-PIs at the institutions leading the Priority Areas
   5. Increased cross-institution coordination / comms on events and resources related to : DS Ed & training; Cyberinfrastructure; Data access, policy & ethics
   6. Seed funds
   7. National coordination entity: All-Hubs All-Hands Meeting in 2020 
      
      
3. Impacts of the shutdown:
   1. longer review process might be expected 
   2. with uncertainty on how long shutdown will last, leftover SEEDCORN funds may be needed to secure staff salaries for any potential gap between Seedcorn and new award (estimated award starting date in the proposal was June 1). Plan on asking for no-cost extension anyway.
