Cross-cutting themes for discussion over lunch with share back:

	Topic
1	How can we work with existing partners and engage underserved communities to share our CIROH research products in ways that enhance public understanding and are more accessible and equitable?
2	What machine learning or computational workflows can we advance as a ��̽̽ community to maximize project outcomes and ��̽̽’s contributions to CIROH?
3	What best practices and/or collaborations can we adopt for sensor deployments and field measurements to maximize collaborations and insights?
4	What practices and considerations should we attend to in data QA/QC and making data publicly available as our projects proceed?
5	What opportunities, experiences, and expertise can we leverage in Vermont to contribute to forecast design at a national setting?
6	What are we looking to improve via CIROH? What metrics or advances will demonstrate improvement in forecasting or forecast design?
