emailed Steven and Dan Martinez to ask about next steps. Update from Steven, the chair. Bolding and italics are mine

Hi Liani!

1. My intention was to keep the working group general around AI. So not just ethics just a general AI working group to tackle topics in this area. Ethics would certainly be one piece.
2. That is correct, would love to pull you both in if yall are willing. Generally every CTTC meeting the working group would provide an high level overview on progress to date. I expect it may take us at least a month or two to come to the full commission with any specific recommendations the entire commission would need to pass.
3. Generally yes - once we accomplish our goals the working group would then be dissolved.

You are always welcome to reach out to any of the commissioners. If you would like to encourage Commissioners Williams and Nwajaku to participate in the working group as well as ask that they support the creation of the working group at the October meeting that would be helpful.
