- Bi-weekly calls have consistency, and we have a max group of around 12 recurring and 3-15 additional but frequently changing participants that give continuity to dialogues. The number of attendees has gone up a bit (3-5 attendees) since Q2/2021. At least one chair is always present in meeting to give continuity as well.
- The group invited 6 high-class guest speakers to their general meeting. These presentations attracted 20-60 participants each.
- New Member Introductions feature in every call is working well. We receive new members frequently. However, we don't necessarily get first timers to continue showing up.
- Working groups have significantly ramped up interesting conversations and gotten diverse members engaged. Some are working towards MVP developments, which will lead to more interest.
- The group mentored in four mentorship projects as part of the Hyperledger Mentorship Program that started in June. A special thanks goes out to all the mentees and mentors. At this point, we want to highlight the efforts of Si Chen who mentored all 4 mentees and was the main driver behind the mentorship program.

Si ToDo Si Chen, could you please provide some information in your words about what the WG has accomplished throughout the second half of 2021?
- The Standards WG analyzed existing carbon emission calculation tools and discussed differences between climate account vs other forms of accounting. They are currently developing an ontology for climate accounting.

The first presentation was given at TODO Sherwood Moore and the second presentation was held by Robin Klemens at Blockchain Europe 2021 in Hamburg. The slides are at Resources and the recording will be shared with the group once published.
