Hi Richard, Instead of assigning you an admin staff person, which we no longer have, the IAWG has the CTO as their assigned staff person. No other group has the CTO assigned as a liaison to them. Carol serves as the liaison to the ARB and IAWG. When we didn't have a CTO, we asked the assurance program manager to fulfill that role, but it really needs to be someone with technical knowledge and expertise. We don't have staff to provide secretarial services to any workgroups. Amanda has been promoted to the membership and workgroup engagement program manager. She is working directly with the Leadership Council now. I have suggested to the LC members that they take advantage of the Zoom AI companion to help take notes. The transcripts and summaries can't be used as standalone. Someone will have to review and edit the notes and transcripts, but it's probably faster than someone taking all the notes and writing them from scratch. We've had success with that in other groups. You just have to have someone willing to review and edit to make sure they are accurate. I have already informed Andrew and Yehoshua of the staffing changes. I think providing you with the CTO is a good use of staff resources and appropriate support for the IAWG. We don't have the staff resources to supply that level of support of the CTO to other workgroups at present. Let me know what additional questions you have.

Could you pls clarify why there is no longer any Kantara-provided secretariat support? Did I miss an important / relevant announcement?
This seems like a pretty important body for KI and yet to expect *pro bono* contribution for that role seems to be stretching it a bit.

Hi IAWG
Agenda for this week's call:
- Regular standing items - Refinement on proposed Purpose/Scope text for the 2025 IAWG Charter - hope to complete on this call if possible - Leadership candidates/election completion - if we have quorum we can elect or seat leadership candidates by acclimation. Nomination period is still open. So far we have Yehoshua Silberstein for Chair and Andrew Hughes for Vice-Chair. We really could use an active Secretary to take notes, post stuff and maintain the action items log.
See you on Thursday February 13, 2025 Noon Eastern
