The meeting was called to order at 1pm MST by Dr. Paul Johnson on Zoom. Instead of the typical meeting, this was focused solely on final preparation of the new WERA proposal. Zoom meetings of subgroups had taken place earlier in this year and this meeting was aimed at pulling those parts together for the final draft. That proposal was submitted later in 2020.
There was also discussion of future meeting locations. Initially, Oregon State University was going to be the host in 2021, followed by Nebraska in 2022. Later in the year this was switched with Nebraska in 2021, which would allow a joint meeting with NCERA221, and Oregon in 2022. This was decided by survey vote among members.
