b. Between monthly meetings, the task force engages in an online collaborative exchange about issues relevant to their tasks within the Knowledge Management Task Force Forum.
c. After the first meeting there was a lot of confusion about data vs. information vs. knowledge. The team members agreed to research these concepts and then share their understanding with the whole team in the forum.
