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 -

ITU: @Shukla, Ayush Hani

GIZ: @Sarah Fischer @Nico Lueck Nora Hauptmann

DIAL: @Wes Brown

EE: @Hans Christian Ende Marika Popp
