2020-06-17 Meeting (Open Conversation Edition)

  • Presentation (Google Slides format—includes introductions to our first four Working Groups and instructions for joining)
  • PDF Version for the Presentation

  • Zoom recording (to be added post meeting)
  • John Jordan, as the newly appointed Executive Director, explained his proposed overall approach to monthly All-Member meetings.
    • Alternate between two formats
    • One month will be an informal meeting devoted to dialog with the overall membership
    • The next month will be a more structured meeting with report outs from the Steering Committee, Working Groups and Task Forces
  • We have now passed 100 total members
    • 18 Steering
    • 1 Associate
    • 69 Contributors (Organizations)
    • 12 Contributors (Individuals)
  • John announced that the Steering Committee has approved hiring of a full-time Program Manager, Dave Luchuk, under a secondment program with the Government of Canada
    • Dave will start as soon as the paperwork can be completed—hopefully by the end of June
    • That will supplement the great work Todd Benzies has been doing for the Foundation
  • Todd then talked about the collaboration tools that have been set up for Foundation
  • Dan Gisolfi next summarized how we'll be using Github
    • Each WG will determine who the maintainers will be for their repos
    • We are still in the phase of determining the governance rules and processes
    • In the meantime, he asks that all new members learn about using Github — he recommends Github Learning Labs
  • John then shared some thoughts about the overall culture and community within the Foundation
    • Trust is inherently a human experience and a community experience
    • It is very much subject to cultural and local conditions
    • He gave as an example a pharmaceutical safety system in the Province of British Columbia, public identifiers are used in order to build trust, however citizen IDs are not publicly published or shared because that would be a privacy issue. So context is supremely important in trusted interactions.
    • These considerations about the cultural and jurisdictional differences in trust and regulation must be something we deal with across our WGs and TFs
