2023-07-10 Governance Committee Meeting

Jul 10, 2023

This page describes the GovStack Governance Committee meeting notes. We use this meeting page to run the meeting and keep notes, actions, and decisions.

To avoid long meetings where the current status of each report is read out, we ask all participants to read the links below before the meeting, and add only major questions/priority discussions they may have to be raised in the meeting. This will focus the meeting upon context-setting and assessing scenarios as a group and enough time for discussion that will result in joint decisions and actions needed for the greatest impact.

Review Action Items

 

Open call for BB - Laverits

RFQ eCabinet ITU UNGM

Construcción Permit

Content management system

RFP Case management system

Margus and Nico have provided comments to eCabinet and Construction Permits which have been responded to and incorporated into the respective ToR.

Nico has provided comments to RFP in Case Management and Content Management System - Comments will be reviewed and incorporated by Wednesday, July 12th 2023

Country teams are reviewing the documents as well; revision period will last two weeks approx.

Wes raised a question, about how this activity is related to GS and how it's contributing to the GS specs work? Those use cases are not the whole of gov approach. He has serious concerns about that and related activities. From the DIAL side they don't belive in this approach.

Decision: align partners understanding of country engagements. Wes will organize a separate meeting about it.
