Note on AI Assistants and Email Notifications

To ensure a smooth experience for all participants, we kindly ask that you review the settings of any AI assistant or note-taking tool you may be using during the meeting. In several recent instances, multiple automated summaries and notifications have been sent to attendees, leading to confusion and email clutter.

If your AI tool is set to automatically email meeting summaries or transcripts to participants, we respectfully request that you disable this feature for all ICAC meetings. You’re welcome to retain notes for your personal use, but please avoid triggering group email distributions.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Thank you!
