- Talk of the Nation transition—PRIMA member stations are making their plans with the various programming options and making plans for implementation and promotion of new programs.
- US:A Survey regarding collaborations—Sent to member stations last week. Questions have to do with collaborations between stations and national organizations as a follow-up to discussion at Super Regional meeting in New Orleans.

Chair Kuzmych asked whether perhaps rather than focus on mergers, CPB should facilitate collaboration in digital media and/or IT similar to NPR Digital Services.
