  1. We have finalized the business question definition; details are in the link below.
  2. We agreed on a timeline until completion; details are in the link below.
  3. We agreed on the task distribution; details are in the link below.

Having decided on the key definitions needed we can now move to get hands-on, which is a great news.

We have agreed that the work now will be managed between the responsible people on 1:1 interlocks, so there is no need to have a group meeting next week.

Our next group meeting is on Saturday, 23rd May, which is already in our calendars.

Many thanks for your contribution, and looking forward to seeing great work come out of it.

Hello all,

Yesterday we had our first group meeting, namely the kick-off. Many thanks and a really constructive interlock.

We have discussed, agreed, and made some decisions in order to move forward.

From now on, all meeting minutes and any assets from the regular meetings will be saved in the Meeting Minutes folder.

General Google Drive for Group D: [link]

Meeting Minutes folder: [link]

The presentation that we used for our kickoff discussion was shared on a previous email and is within the drive you should all have access already to it.

The drive will get populated with more folder structure as the next activities develop.

Key next steps:

  1. Next meeting on Saturday, May 9th, at 1 PM UK time. Invites have been sent to all.
  2. In case [Group Member 2] can’t join us on the next call, Ariel has separately sent a proposal on design decisions related to the business question, workstreams, and roles. We would really welcome [Group Member 2]’s feedback, if available, as it would help us move forward with the specific task allocation.
    • 2.1 We of course welcome [Group Member 1] or [Group Member 3] if you could join us, we will catchup and understand what is the best task allocation we can do collectively.
  3. For anyone who could not join the kick-off, please go through the meeting minutes in detail to understand what was discussed and agreed, and what comes next. Also, please go through the presentation before joining the next call, if you have not done so already, so everyone is up to speed with the proposals. We would really welcome your comments, feedback, and counter-proposals, especially on the business question, workstreams, and roles, so we can have a productive discussion and move forward together.

Security note: As not everyone has a Google account, the sharing was done via a mix of Google permissions and “anyone with the link can view.” Therefore, please do not share the links with anyone outside Group D.

Many thanks and looking forward to the task allocation so we can get hands-on!
