https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dnx5h83rTD0fi_ZwHM3iMdTrFE41_ibDa5OuzJ4p3zU/edit?usp=sharing

Key Challenges:
    * Organisational complexity and lack of clarity
    * Misalignment with skills and interests
    * Time constraints
    * Need for cross-group collaboration

Key Interests:
    * Understanding what works organisationally
    * Proposing structural changes
    * Experimenting with new tools
    * Open proposal process
    * Visibility into work and meetings
The core issues seem to center around complexity in the current structures, difficulty participating meaningfully given time constraints, and desire for more transparency, learning and experiments to evolve how the Ambassador program functions.

5. Topics
    

1. Incubation Guild: Development of research (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pU83ykigH5rp15r4XuvhptD5v9BMZSbQSPCJ3-6tW9s/edit?usp=sharing)
- Task - make research
Representation of goals - How does this initative address the goal?
    Macrocosmic or microcosmic?
    Start with incubation - understanding its goals

    2. Post DF R3 - What now?
            1. Projects to link
            2. Supporting funded projects
            3. Supporting unfunded projects
- Ton of potential to offer from Ambassador Program to (potential) awarded - teams. Distribute tasks to Ambassador Program.
- What are the elements that make a successful proposal?

2. Manifesto: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AnsVI4mA460l43HAf4okSVJgM56Xk3SPLhQL6xeHp38/edit?usp=sharing

Organisation of documents. 
    Public google drive  currently - cleanup necessary
    Knowledge base - tevo link
    Research topic: platforms to organise and visualise documents
        What are the needs of documentation organisation? Does it need the front-end? Where should this conversation take place? Should it happen in knowledge? Process Guild has its interest. Their own utility and need.

3. Availability of contributors - meetings & async
            
    5. Archiving - whether meeting summaries should be a requirement of running a WG?
    "this is a practical example of what we should be doing. What can only show you what we think. We can have discussion but its not enough. Have data to backup. Discussion alone is not enough - needs to be supported. possible to have requests from community. Research that gives more than an opinion."
Alot of intiiatives are going to impact multiple groups. Identify needs. Doc or Repo. Research team is concious of purpose of tool. 
    Reach out to guilds? "Whats your level of impact?"
    Session with all the workgroup leads? Async research?
    Alot necessary - from the tools. What are they? Incentives? Are we going to be grouping? Autonous methodologies?
Homework: Prototype
