Working group breaking into smaller work-teams
- Front-end frameworks: focusing on which framework, what the requirements are and the evaluation criteria
- Big Picture: Structuring the deliverables, what are the high level requirements?, what needs to change vs. what stays the same?
- What does migration look like?: Inventory of components/libraries/etc that need to be migrated. What would migration look like for each of these?

Agreement on goal: "An overall architecture for where we want the frontend to go, and a plan for getting there that considers what can be done incrementally and which large changes need to happen all at once"
Discussion of ways to split the group into smaller sub-groups for efficiency.
