      • We need to do a better job of recording what we already do

      • User Survey Interview session – good opportunity to revisit; may be able to identify from the comments some use cases; should keep both formal and non-formal lists; can submit tickets and may not need to go to XCI; shouldn’t try to tease apart requests to come up with Use Cases; Henry and Dana could start looking at Campus Engagement but should think about it carefully;
