Naming discussion.

2023 Year in Review

• How will we start gathering input from across the initiative?

• Last year we posted a blog and made social media graphics with the stats. Are we happy with that approach again this year?

GovStack emails

• Instructions sent for creating govstack emails for access to Twitter and future MailChimp

  • Can we confirm who has successfully made an email?

    • Cora and Margus will check

    • Ayush is having issues

Newsletter

GovExchange quick changes

• Remove GovStack from the carousel: In the image we state that all the offerings on the exchange are from GovStack, thats not the case.

• ID specs, no link to the GitBook Specs.

Kazakhstan

ITU signing MOU with Kazakhstan - posting this as a GovStack initiative with MOU is misleading. Margus will have to deal with countries wanting an MOU w/ GovStack.

Communications – bigger convo needs to happen about how we talk about country engagements that are happening with just one partner

Cora, Nora, Sarah will have a draft for us to review in the next 2 weeks

For now, move it to NEWS not Global Showcase for now and add first line “This is an ITU initiative”

• Make sure we have comms representation in the Product Committee each week
