Meeting Notes
* Feedback from previous ANITA workshop/school
* Action Item: ASA funding letter to request support ($5k for catering?)
* Especially needed for students, post docs (ECRs)
* May incentivize more students/ECRs to come to ANITA
* Coffee breaks and lunches should be covered at least for students & ECRs
* Only name on programs, not titles
* Amanda liked this because it was mixed science but didn’t like not having badges
* Should ANITA be hybrid?
* Mark prefers not hybrid, ANU we have Duffield Lecture Theatre
* Plenty of people from ANU know how the A/V works
* Need everyone to use the same computer and set up a dropbox
* Not everyone can travel so needs to be hybrid
* Darren said online experience should try and be as good as it can
* School should not be hybrid
* Workshop can be hybrid
* Should we use the hybrid ASA as a model for ANITA?
* Mark said people are trying to make online work as best they can for ASA
* Summer school and workshop will be two different weeks so hopefully subfield specific confusion will be solved
* Typically 10-20 students have attended ANITA schools the last few years though the numbers have gone down
