Mar 11, 2024
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.

@PSRAMKUMAR / @Steve Conrad | Ramkumar - BB presentations and interactions in deep dives with Kenya, Lesotho, Djibouti, Somalia led to better appreciation of Govstack approach, identification of as-is and to-be use-cases with relevant gaps , constraints and existing policies and resources and how govstack adoption of BBs can benefit. We should factor in the fact that countries are sensitive to exposing their current architecture, strengths weakness to others and public forums. BB groups are involved based oncountry specific requirements after consolidating next steps with them. Specific enhancements in Payment and ID BB spec are being discussed apart from work started in e-wallet group, may fit in Q2 time frame with given resources. Steve - Seeing reduced participation in TC meetings. May partially be related to team members being part of country engagements as well as the end of many contracts. Most BB groups don’t have specific plans for updates to their Building Block specifications | |
@Steve Conrad | We have updated some of the core guidance on authentication and authorization. Ramkumar is working on a deep dive on authentication. Finishing review of PAERA document and will link to this guidance from the GovStack non-functional requirements document. Need to identify next set of architecture topics that should be prioritized for conversation - these will likely come out of country engagements. | |
@Wes Brown | Similar to the TC, seeing significantly reduced participation. Primary activities remain use case evaluation, process/specification discussions, and roadmap planning. GovStack critically needs a more strategic approach to involve country engagement back into core activities. Individual-based connections do not scale and reduce the ability for GovStack to facilitate and maintain a bi-directional relationship. | |
@Wes Brown | Citizen Engagement Use Case will be shared later this month at the March 27th PC meeting | |
@Nico Lueck | Iteration 3 - GovStack Expert concept (listing of service provider) Compliance WebApp: Searching for BB candidates to submit self-assessments | |
