- Add summary 'mission statement' or 'purpose' - why this is different from other glossaries (emphasise federation). (GWG Co-leads). COMPLETED
- Submit WG Charter to TRE Community (GWG Co-leads)

## 5th June TRE Community Meeting Summary
- Just BS and KO'S attended Glossary WG breakout room - very lonely and we sat awkwardly in silence. Some signups though in the background, so people are interested. We decided we need to get the first iteration of the glossary out there and then there would be more interest (read: bickering and grumbling) by the wider TRE Community (hurrah).

## Strands of work / leads

### Editorial process (lead: Rob)
- Rough consensus?
- Move to formal process? What does that look like. One person, one vote?
- (Rob) Aim to draw up a starter for ten and circulate to wider group by next meeting.
- KO'S has drawn up editorial process document and circulated to RB/BS for review. RB/BS to review and then circulate to wider group before next WG meeting on 24th June.

### Machinery for how to publish / manage change (lead: Balint & Simon?)
- Where does it live?
- Where does it get rendered?
- How does the machinery support the editorial process (issues etc.)?

### Formal Comms Plan (lead: Michelle & Amy)

-  Amy to cover public engagement

### Current glossaries identified/reviewed (lead: ??)

### Dictionary Discovery (for integration/alignment) (lead: Kate)
