Deadline 

  1.  

Creating working country prototypes is a priority, but we cannot move directly from Digital Service Design to sandbox/prototyping (outside of updating the Framework). We will not do prototypes for every country, but for the engagements we have now, we will.

We need a proxy person or team responsible for feeding country expectations/interests into the sandbox, product and technical committees.

2.

We agreed country work should be split from core framework work. But we need to agree on the flow(s).

A smaller group will harmonize Nico’s diagram & Hani’s diagram, plus the country engagement & product/tech deck so that the voting partners can review, accept, ratify, and publish to Confluence.

Yolanda will lead, the team will meet this week, and present next Monday.

Next actions:

@Nico Lueck updates his diagram and sends.

@Martinez, Yolanda (Deactivated) Yolanda circulates decks.

Team takes homework to review and add comments async. Constrain comments to Like-Lack-Suggest-Questions.

The team will meet for one hour to review comments and make decisions.

Retrospective session - we agreed we’ve achieved a lot - and we need to do more to celebrate our wins - but there are many things that can improve. @Jake Watson will synthesize and format notes. As a team, we will prioritize and address issues.

@Jake Watson

Jake will share on Thursday so everyone can give input by Monday. Input to be collected via respective leads.

Sustainability - we need to connect with Heath to kick off this workstream. Heath is proposing a 2-day workshop. Please be sure to include @Rachel Lawson (Unlicensed) as well as @Karin Voodla

5.

Deliverables - @Shukla, Ayush has pictures of the sticky notes from the Deliverables session. He will work with @Martinez, Yolanda (Deactivated) to classify them as Like-Lack-Suggest-Question and reach out to each workstream to consolidate. Iterated versions will then be presented in the coming Monday session.
