Steering Group executive summary, action items, and minutes

Date: Thursday January 14, 2021

Executive Summary

This meeting was primarily spent discussing our approach for crediting the Steering and Maintainers Group in BEP manuscripts. We will be using the credit taxonomy for helping to recognize contributors. These guidelines can be added to the BEP lead guidelines. We want to give our community members the opportunity to be credited for their contributions to a BEP.
