Ben

Questions

  • when will a town hall be open for all staff? November

  • principles guiding branding? (Jess & Josephine already have it)

  • how will you be monitoring and reporting problems?

Lessons learned:

  • If you make edits, ask person sharing screen to refresh slides

  • spell out abbreviations for co-chairs in speaking notes (e.g., Escalation Leaders)

  • very few questions again…consider a survey to ask what the ideal Town Hall format should be

  • At least 5 people who were not part of the cohort attended

SILS All Chairs meeting (recurring)

  • Note-taking: Lena

  • Facilitating: Christine

  • Monitoring chat: All

  • Track attendance: Lena

Topic for next meeting on Aug 26?

Topic for co-chairs?

Save until more fully baked: 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. (Reminder: NDA is still in place for vendor responses. They should not be shared outside UC.)
