All documents were shared using GoToMeeting. Steve Nettles and James Hellrung, AMP facilitated the rest
of the meeting proceedings. The committee first discussed the definition of the target practitioners. After
several minutes of discussion, they decided that it would be best to review the draft list of activities and
domains, and revisit developing the definitions after their review of the draft list. There was verbal interaction
by the committee as well as “back channel” IM commentary via GoToMeeting. The committee developed the
initial list of major domains, and decided on a draft list to be used for the next phase of the project.
It was decided that the draft list of activities would be published to Google Drive and the committee would
review it prior to next week’s meeting. Specifically, the committee was tasked to review the complete list of
tasks, assigning each to one area of the revised list of major domains. AMP will revise the spreadsheet of
activities/KSAs for the committee's input for publishing to Google Drive. Audio, screenshared video, and the
chat log were recorded and can be viewed on Google Drive in this folder: 06 17 2015 Meeting 1. The
meeting adjourned at 5 PM CDT.
Review tasks individually before next meeting.
