 Hi everyone, Jordan Burris and Eric Thompson sent out these notes from our last call. We had trouble with the Zoom link last month but hopefully have corrected it for our next meeting on Monday, August 28, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.

I've attached the notes from the last call. The new email list for the group should be working. However, to be added to the email list and to fully access the workspace on the Wiki, please complete a Group Participation Agreement (GPA).

Here is the link to sign up for access by completing the GPA form, https://kantarainitiative.org/gpa-signup/.

In the attached notes, you will see five action items. Please submit those items as requested by the close of business this Friday, August 25, so we can use that input to move forward on the next call.

Action Item Requests: A dedicated workspace was created for the Terminology/Taxonomy Work Effort - please let Jordan and Eric know if you'd like to volunteer for this work. A dedicated workspace was also created to measure identity outcomes, impacts across demographics, and overall ROI. Please submit your suggestions, recommendations, and practices to start the discussion. We are looking to build out subcommittee participation. Please send your recommendations for other groups, government agencies, and organizations you believe should be represented in this group. Please email Jordan and Eric, who are copied on this email, with those other group recommendations and a contact.
