1. Rick Chappell, Focus Group co-Chair emeritus: Summary of Progess, thoughts for the next year
2. Barbara Giles of NASA GSFC: Access to Polar TIDE outflow data base, new tools, new data products
3. additional participants welcome! you are welcome to add your contribution here or to email barbara.giles@nasa.gov and shashaz@umich.edu
4. Open Discussion of Storm Studies
5. Open Discussion of Plans

Shall we reboot our collaborative efforts on the Storm Challenges?

• Storm 1: 2016 Mar 4-8 (DOY 64-68)
• Storm 2: 2016 Oct 11-15 (285-289) <-- some work has been done on this event
• Possibly: 2016 May 6-10 (127-131)
• Possibly, new since last year: 2018 Aug 25-31
  • Especially including new and newly-restored data sets
  • Other specialized events/studies are welcome, especially those speaking to statistical states. It is important to study not only storm times, but also non-storm times in which the ionosphere is feeding the plasma sheet and building it up steadily prior to any reconnection or storm activity.

This will also be a focus for M3I2 GEM Mini-Workshop at 2019 Fall AGU.
