2026-02-02 Governance Committee Meeting
Feb 2, 2026
This page describes the GovStack meeting notes. We use this meeting page to both run the meeting and keep notes, actions and decisions.
To avoid long meeting where the current status of each report is read out, we ask all participants to read the links below before the meeting, add in any questions they may have and then ask them in the meeting. This will focus the meeting upon the questions, decisions and actions needed for greatest impact.
Participants:
ITU:
GIZ:

Feedback Loop from Country Engagement | Marika | Country level feedback mainly lies with technical consultants on specifications. Partner countries also need to be involved. Need to get better in tracking how specifications have been used (hard to track open source). Important to know how specifications are used and qualitative review. Objective: improvements on specifications, learning how specifications are applied, impact stories for communication. Ideally, EstDev, ITU, GIZ need to collect information from country implementation.
| Begin with one key country and test “feedback approach” |
