Invite Danielle to Ops Leads on a Tuesday 11-12 to request Ops Leads gather impressions/feedback on how things are going to shape ongoing gov, covering what’s in scope (decision-making, how parts engage each other, PM’ing moving forward), and what’s not.

Do you need anything?	15	All	EUOS is finishing their workplan in preparation for meeting with WG on 9/4. IT is working on their workplan but they have a lot of other work now, so it’s coming along more slowly. Allison Benedetti is replaced by Sylvia Page.

Ask chairs about the idea of a problem log and corresponding slack channel for sharing issues and learning from one another during testing. Are there other ideas for how to do this? How do we include those who are testing, but not part of the cohort? See PPC-SC notes RFP #1 priority “essential” requirements to use for test plans or as a reference for what the functionality is supposed to be if something does not seem to be working as expected.
