- I was reviewing the video recording, and let me just clarify that it's not the technical team's responsibility to ensure that presenters submit their  video recordings. That should be primarily the Program teams responsibility, with coordination with Technical (for collecting the video) [name=erwin]

        - Bigger prize is bigger incentive. Will consult with @fVTivWjVQfec8ekROHvadA - @sWSm16-ET6-teRIRvGencA 

*Can we post the charts of the sponsored posts here?* @sWSm16-ET6-teRIRvGencA 

### Technical
- [x] platform updates
    - BBB is leading candidate
- [x] Create [pad](https://hackmd.io/@pnm/SJNFHBaBD) to gather feedback on BBB @rk : hackmd.io/@pnm/SJNFHBaBD

### Admin & Finance
- [x] @maning will follow-up with MBX to co-ordinate announcement of sponsorship. Due next week, W40, before 1st October
- [x] sponsorship updates @maning
 - 5 confirmed sponsors (2-platinum, 1-gold, 1-silver, 1-bronze)
 - 4 sponsorship funds transferred (BNHR, Mapamore, Mapbox, Kaart)
 - 1 transfer in process (Grab)
 - Under negotiation
     - **FEF** - interested to be Gold, wants to have an Official receipt in addition to sponsorship agreement.  We proposed an individual consultant/contractor arrangement similar to HIVOS last year (trhough Arnalie Vicario who will provide an OR).  **Discuss: Up to when should we pursue this oppurtunity?**
         - not critical to pursue if money is a concern, inform the deadline is end of Oct1.  but they are still welcome to send a talk.
     - **Facebook/Mapillary** - interested to be Osmium.  Due to acquisition of Mapillary, they are discussing the funding level. FB is proposing a side-by-side logo placement.  **Discuss: Do we agree to these terms?**  
         - Remind them of our policy (1 logo per sponsor), ask them to send a sample side-by-side sample logo if they can share a sample.
         - As long as the logo can appear to be from a single sponsor, i think that's best [name=erwin]
         - RK mentions "Instagram by Facebook" logo, and Ben agrees that that might be preferable
         - We will abide by our sponsorship agreement.

- [x] financial status @GOwin 
    - [x] propose increased budget for line items/incentives for approved talks
    - [![](https://i.imgur.com/bLyKe7q.png)](https://i.imgur.com/bLyKe7q.png)

        - number of grants given?
        - number of sessions ?
        - "register" so we could mail out certificates of attendance on paper?

    - RK raised the concern that people who would benefit the most from this grant may still find the reimbursement scheme infeasible.
    - Release subsidy in tranches 
        - 7-day prepaid data load, instead of 30 days
        - if they attend the session, they will get the suceeding tranche
        - moderators/tech assistants will check attendance of "scholars"
            - proposal: to gather conference feedback/inputs , i think we can require scholars to submit their feedback about the session for them to get their last tranche [name=erwin]
        - internet access grants can also be given to presenters
    - Application period is the entire month of October 2020.
