MAC CoP Sponsorship Process

MAC provides infrastructure — meetings support, online discussion and email participation, and a dedicated website — to Communities of Practice that serve Maine’s AI ecosystem. We welcome applications from Maine groups that are just forming and from existing Maine communities looking for infrastructure support for AI related CoP.

What MAC Provides

• A dedicated section of the MAC website
• Online discussion and email participation setup and hosting
• Support for scheduling and hosting hybrid meetings
• Visibility through MAC’s network and communications

What We Ask Of Conveners

A sponsored CoP requires at least two committed conveners, with a commitment to recruit toward four. From conveners we require:

• A commitment to run at least four in person meetings per year (we will provide venue and organizational support).
• A commitment to moderate discussions and keep discussions civil and nonpartisan (there are plenty of other venues for partisanship).
• Have a well defined community of practice which relates to AI in Maine.
