+
+## CogSci
+
+New meeting in Boston, not sure that there will be BIDS representation there.
+
+## Other maintainer Questions
+
+-   Would be good to start OHBM prep further in advance (~6mo?), including assigning tasks. (This year was a bit rushed.)
+    -   need a more clear outline of duties for Steering Group and Maintainers
+    -   Should BIDS Roundtable meeting go back to the OSR (to ensure hybrid engagement) or stick with OHBM to be included in the program
+    -   Considering the upcoming Brisbane location, there may be a higher need for hybrid/virtual engagement
+    -   Does BIDS townhall need to happen at OHBM? Or could it be a stand alone meeting.
+
+-   $20 for [Opavote](https://opavote.com/) for election.
+    -   steering group supports, Ariel (Yarik as backup) will support financially.
+
+-   Somewhat inchoate coordination woes:
+
+    -   "we are seeing more requests, is there a coordinator role already that can respond?
+        If not, how should the general inquiries be routed?"
+
+    -   Could the contributing page help identify where to direct queries (e.g. a contact for interviews, press...)?
+        We currently have a contact page [on the new website](https://bids-website.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contact/index.html)
+        (which might not be sufficient)
+
+## BIDS Virtual Meeting?
+
+-   Should BIDS move their annual meeting "roundtable" outside of OHBM?
+-   Chris will bring the dicsussion to the Maintainers.
