Missing the initial "D" for "Discussion"

- Community is still interested in identifying a communication platform that is not Slack
- MEI Board will identify requirements and scope for a communication platform to begin the process

- MEC 2027 will be held in Rome during June 7-10 2027
- Johannes Kepper has been appointed the Program Chair

- Sponsorships
- MEI Board has put in-kind sponsorships on hold at this time and will only accept monetary sponsorships. There is currently no shared understanding regarding in-kind sponsorships and further discussion is required before we accept in-kind sponsorships.

- Calendering
- Next Board meetings will be on July 27: 10 AM EDT / 4 PM CEST

**MEI Community**: If you have questions or agenda items you would like the MEI Board to consider in a future meeting, please reach out to Anna Kijas (anna.kijas at tufts.edu) with your input.
