2026-02-16 Governance Committee Meeting
Feb 16, 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:

| Meeting proposal have been added by everyone. | Need to align messaging for each meeting. Decide on extra meeting after Tuesday. |
Sandbox | Nico L. | Nico presented a Sandbox proposal for the new entity, which focuses on “Demonstration to externals” and will reduce costs. | Marika stated that the Governance Committee does not have the mandate to decide on behalf of the new entity. It was agreed to reduce costs but maintain additional options in case the foundation is able to expand. Project for the technical team: define criteria and options to engage partners for the other objectives. |
Website: Update GovMarket | Nico L. | Improvements to website content (community page, accessibility, filter functions for software solutions and providers) |
