   2. Judith Fleenor is also working on building out the deliverables pipeline from inception to formal publication
   3. Drummond Reed  – commented on a recent discussion at the APAC SC meeting – concerning the idea of using blog posts to communicate approved deliverables – would require a short description – to be undertaken by the CC with feedback from authors and ensure harmonization of ToIP messaging
   4. Discussion also included ideas of using webinars
   5. Discussion amongst WPTF members concerning other means to promote – e.g., use of industry specific media that could include publications or online content. Discussion also on leveraging ToIP members who promote ToIP activities at conferences (whether sector specific or topic)
