| russell.deffner | Current Response Updates | 00:13:31 |
| russell.deffner | I've been so focused on the protocol review and the hiring work; I don't have any significant updates. Anyone else? | 00:14:22 |
| russell.deffner | Ok, we'll just consider them staying in relatively the same status as last week. | 00:18:00 |
| russell.deffner | Activator/Validator Capacity | 00:19:20 |
| russell.deffner | Claudio and I have updated the trello card https://trello.com/c/t6YnIp4d/79-activator-validator-capacity | 00:20:00 |
| russell.deffner | After a bit of exploring I found we had a few issues with getting new validators endorsed; one was that we had conflicting versions of the spreadsheet that captures the requests, and two - there was an 'glitch' with adding new endorsers to help out as it was down to just Michael H and myself doing any vetting and we both were too busy. But, we've resolved these and I worked through some of the backlog in requests and now we have 6 people doing endorsement so we should start catching up. | 00:22:27 |
| russell.deffner | The increase in new validators shows a bit of that progress. | 00:22:51 |
| russell.deffner | For Activators, after a few good weeks, we're now back to just a slow growth in number of people accessing the courses, but not getting through and endorsed for roles. | 00:23:34 |
| russell.deffner | If no questions, etc... | 00:25:33 |
| russell.deffner | Activation Training Enhancement | 00:25:51 |
| russell.deffner | We'll have the 12th Activation Protocol Workshop just after this meeting, details can be found on bit.ly/HOTWG - we'd gladly have people join to 'cast their vote' | 00:27:01 |
| russell.deffner | We'll be making a decision on how to progress with the Activator roles/functions in version 2 of the protocol. Options have already been defined so you don't need to know the entire history of how we got here but happy to have your opinion on which option makes for the best volunteer experience. | 00:28:18 |
| russell.deffner | Ok, well this may be a short meeting but that is fine... | 00:30:48 |
| russell.deffner | Existing Project Updates | 00:30:56 |
| russell.deffner | Post-disaster mapping and Training Center are still on hold as we get some of these other priorities completed. | 00:31:36 |
| russell.deffner | Any updates, besides the announcement from Arnalie regarding translations? | 00:31:55 |
| russell.deffner | Or the others: Imagery request process, road classification, or offset? | 00:32:39 |
| russell.deffner | As I mentioned before, those last ones are just waiting for someone to pick up and run; feel free to ask me for guidance but it's just outside my personal current capacity to 'steward' them. | 00:34:01 |
| russell.deffner | And that's basically it from me, opening the floor to... | 00:37:13 |
| russell.deffner | Any Other Business | 00:37:18 |
| russell.deffner | Ok @room, then I will adjourn today's meeting; hope to see you at the Activation Protocol workshop in about 15 minutes: meet.google.com/onv-edcn-psy | 00:44:20 |
 Tony Bendell | Thanks for the updates. | 00:44:45 |
