- Chrissi and Paul met with Noeleen Williamson on 13/5/15
- She is on board and prepared for what lies ahead.
- Knows/appreciates that their content/website is not good (too wordy, confused, inconsistent, etc) and sees WIPII as a good opportunity to clean things up
- Seems to be a lot of other change (is this "normal"?). For example, two schools will merge before the end of the year, 150 course will be "renumbered", programme options under considerable flux, etc
- Was unable to find school representatives but will now, after hearing of the importance, try again
- Their faculty has different dates than others (longer/shorter periods for whatever reasons) that may need special treatment
- Even when two schools have merged in to one, the there will be some remnant of the Kura (for research activities for staff and maybe students) that needs a web presence/expression
- Some staff have strong views (so we encouraged her to invite them, despite her concerns that this might "derail" the workshop).
- Have school staff (where students do placements) as an audience. Might yet have some unique needs?
- Growth in PG ETFS, which she attributes to meeting market demand for more flexible programmes and pathways.

Graduate Research
- Anne and Paul met Theresa, Peter, Sue and Judith on 15/5/25
- They believe there content is good/valued, albeit wordy, but ought to be somewhere else (it is only on a Faculty site because that was the only place they were able to put it
- Their information is suitable to all PG by research, whether this be PhD (covered by their remit) or Masters by thesis (initially requested as their remit but faculties were unwilling to relinquish this).
- Manage PhD admissions, candidacy and examinations.
- Audiences are PG students and their supervisors (usually Uni staff but occasionally in centres or institutes)
- Offer many workshops, "own quite a bit of policy, seems well connected with staff throughout the Uni, etc
- Make a lot of use of email to communicate and would like to know of other/better alternatives.
