1)A scientific focus goal – at least 2 topics on which survey, discussion, debate, webinar, consensus, harmonization, etc., can be conducted
2)At least one manuscript/white paper goal – given at least 2 scientific goals in the prior bullet, it should certainly be possible that one or more lead to publication. Value-adding manuscripts speak for themselves…members want to be associated with such a community!
3)An inter-community collaboration goal – form a “Federation”; start a topical discussion with at least one other community, or joint idea submission for a workshop or webinar. Cross-discipline science leads to innovation…
4)A broad progress update at least twice a year – this could be a posting online, a multiple page PDF newsletter or even a single slide update on the goals that is shared as a Discussion Post or a Shared File on the community webpage. If the goals are set right, members will review these community progress updates.
5)At least one student/post-doc/early career scientist development objective – this could be mentoring, your scientific discipline-focused career development webinar, could be to invite them to be part of the community leadership, asking them to author your community progress updates/newsletter, help them become moderators at PS360, etc.
