Summary

Staff described outreach plans (surveys, focus groups, targeted forums), proposed pilots for tranches of agencies and toolkits, and agreed to circulate measurable objectives so the committee can review a detailed implementation plan before the April commission meeting.

Staff presented an outline of outreach and implementation steps designed to identify barriers and pilot solutions: surveys to ethics officers and training directors, targeted forums (for CUNY, SUNY, small boards), and a toolkit to standardize solutions for categories of underperforming agencies. "So let's get, you know, we we would have, a timeline for when we would have the toolkit ready, then we'd have a timeline for when we would start the pilot..." a staff member said, describing how measurable pilot objectives would make progress easier to track.

Commissioners suggested partnering with higher-level officials (governor's office, chancellors) to drive attention in large systems such as CUNY and SUNY if initial outreach hits barriers. Staff agreed to build tranche timelines and measurable objectives; the committee asked staff to circulate the implementation document before the April meeting and indicated willingness to accept a circulated update rather than hold a separate committee meeting before the full commission.
