	Documentation	Kevin Clair	Documentation met on January 29 and will meet again on April 4. We are undertaking a review of the existing user documentation to determine if there are any undocumented or under-documented features for which we can contribute text. We'll be coordinating with the Community Engagement Coordinator on next steps after our April 4 meeting. We have also contributed feedback to TAC on tooltips and other documentation.
	Reports	Alston Coburn and Nikki Thomas	Reports met on on January 14 and February 25 Major Activities Decided we need to utilize the AS open call platform to gather feedback from the user community on their current use of reports, their use cases, and their pain points before determining our next steps. Planned for AS open call on April 3 at 1 pm eastern time. Responded to several JIRA tickets about possible reports or functions that could be handled by reports; stated that we would revisit these tickets after receiving feedback on the AS open call. Future Work Plan TBD about pre-defined and custom reports after open call feedback Continue to have conversations about the data dictionary and its future Test existing reports for upcoming releases
	Testing	Brittany Newberry	The Testing sub-team helped with testing of 14 Jira issues for v2.6.0 earlier this month. We are currently waiting to hear about future testing assignments.
	Other Business	Ashley and Lydia	Survey results and UAC discussion. Are you happy with the time commitment with the UAC and subteams? Are you happy with the format and frequency of UAC meetings? Is there anything you would like to see changed? Do you feel like the subteams sufficiently cover important areas of the program or should there be additional subteams/working groups/task forces or existing subteam scope changes? Should there be UAC-only subteams or should subteams have the option to be TAC-UAC integrated? Would you like the UAC to be more active as an umbrella unit, beyond coordinating subteam work? If so, how? Are there issues/projects that you would like UAC as a unit to oversee/address?
