Organizational roadmap
@Esther Ogunjimi : we can have the events calendar and the Roadmap separately
@Eskandar, Hani on UNGA event: We asked the SDG digital day team to feature GovStack, details to be worked out. We can target to be featured in other events, lets discuss offline
@PSRAMKUMAR : We can visit monthly milestones of waves 1 2 and 3 and sync with service providers on V1.0.
@Wes Brown can create a roadmap around events
@Andrea Donath : UNGA: does anyone have an idea how to become a High Impact Initiative (presented in the courese of the SDG Digital Day 17th Sept.)

GovStack Goals
@Wes Brown : Are we actually using these goals, we are quite late on a few, highlighted in yellow
@Martinez, Yolanda (Deactivated) : This slide was approved in Strategic Governance Committee in 2023.
@Nora Hauptmann : It will be helpful to have a master roadmap.
@Jake Watson : We need to ground these goals in workstreams.
@Rachel Lawson (Unlicensed) : Have these represented on Jira so they can be managed. Priority discussions

New Meeting format
@Wes Brown & @Rachel Lawson (Unlicensed) : Can we just use confluence instead on PPT and confluence?
@Wes Brown : We can discuss the proposals on Slack. Try it out for a couple of weeks and review
@Martinez, Yolanda (Deactivated) : PPT confluence has served its purpose well. Strategic Committee meeting-level agreements are captured on OneNote, this was agreed. (Also conforms to the data protection requirements we have agreed upon for that meeting)

GovSpec Management:
@Wes Brown How do we make progress after BB Leads Roll out
@Eskandar, Hani We need to resume the conversation on sustainability.
Contracts are ending this month if not next month
@PSRAMKUMAR : Its key that further work on specs is driven by real-world use cases.
@Jake Watson :
We need to continue with ID and Payment.
We should reach out to current members and explore if they can work as volunteers.
Let's get service providers into spec works
@Rachel Lawson (Unlicensed) : If we are going to be volunteer-led, open to service providers etc, will require a big change, but it might be a welcome change.
@Margus Mägi : Call for Working Group leads must be made. We can differentiate if in certain BB, do the leads need to be Domain experts?
@PSRAMKUMAR : I second Margus, we need a person who can manage the WG and rep GovStack. Lets not wait for the contracts to end to contact the members.
@Eskandar, Hani : Until September we can ask folks to volunteer until then we should resolve these issues.
@Nico Lueck , we should find other incentives to WG members if we arent paying them.
ACTION: Form a group to discuss further. Volunteers for the group:
@Rachel Lawson (Unlicensed)
@Wes Brown
@Cora Bay

Collaborative process for Eval of new BBs pushed to next week

Neutrality of products
@Margus Mägi : we should be discussing about international standards we are referring to
Is GDPR something we are following
For Security are we following NIST? How do we follow the right balance.
We should develop an understanding of how we tackle these challenges.
@Cora Bay : GIZ is making a Match-making platform, not limited to BMZ projects. http://Leverist.de targets folks from academia, civil providers and service providers. The platform is available in 4 languages. It allows projects to have their own landing pages, like the one demoed by Cora.
@Cora Bay is the focal point for this.

Questions from Tech Committee:
Wave 3 timelines?
@PSRAMKUMAR :
Do we go for TAC review? If yes then feedback needs to be incorporated before September.
By August the Specs should be in review worthy state.
This discussion to be continued in Prod Comm.
@Eskandar, Hani : My suggestion is to let the Infra work but outside of the september deadline since they are all volunteers anyway
