Biyi: RrSG initial meeting. Finding synergies. Action item:

Liaison function, to come up with things of interest. Jordan: lack of knowledge of how each group works. That might be worthwhile to explore.

Stephen: i was in that session where StratPlan was presented. Will send a written summary.

Jordan: reflection on geopolitical forum. It was underwhelming the way the info was presented. It felt defensive. Community should push collaboration with other parts of the community. Input into NetMundial. Just noting it, we cannot discuss today due to lack of time.
