@Nora Hauptmann / @Andrea Donath

DPI Summit

@Eskandar, Hani

Comments from Hani

Summit will stay in Egypt but move to Cairo

Scheduled for June 11-13

MCIT is requesting (more) formal documentation about goals/priorities for summit. Team will get together to discuss this later this week

Co-Develop has started on list of attendees and proposed agenda. Need to ensure that GovStack is properly represented during the summit

Goal is to invite 600-700 people, each partner should reach out to groups to invite

Thinking to make this an annual event

It could be helpful to have a broad perspective beyond specific regional solutions/architectures. This could be an opportunity for the EU to share their perspective

Opportunity for GovStack to be more vocal and share about our solution more generally

There will be an exhibition area where we could perhaps have sections for GovStack, DIIA, Egypt, etc

Andrea: Highlight that GovStack is an enabler of other specific solutions, the role that GovStack plays is different and important/valuable.

Ramkumar: Might be a good opportunity to have countries share about GovStack on our behalf, this could have more impact.

Update on Identity WG (on behalf of @Nico Lueck )

Martha and I created a shortlist and consulted with Jaume to select the right persons. We sorted to persons we would like to see A) as technical experts actively writing Specs and B) possibly volunteer contributors (most times silent or representing a BB provider).
The Identity WG meetings are targeted to start again in May. Jaume will get support by Martha.

1. Seeking for active contribution as the role Technical expert:

• Torsten Lodderstedt -> @Lueck, Nico GIZ will approach him

• Laura Kask or someone from her team. Open for other Estonian expert suggestions having worked on eIDAS -> @Christian Ende, Hans, we were hoping you could approach a suitable person to be ready in May

1. Contacting for review/feedback as the role contributor

• Sleiman Kozaizan (IBM Egypt)

• Timo Behrmann (NECT Germany)

• Name tbd (Access Now)

• Thomas März

• Gail Hodges (maybe also interesting to approach her for “Women in GovTech”)

The existing team members will of course be invited to continue with the working group.

Need to decide on how to recognize contributors

This work was started but is not currently progressing.

Wes: Suggesting to follow up on this actively after the Brussels meetings

Andrea: Perhaps Martha/Ramkumar/Wes could take this up going forward
