Future Topics

...

Work-in-Progress - Welcome all contributors, ideas, options. Sovrin Steward Council? Probably on hold - charter created - the ideas was to ensure strong community interaction - independent of the current governance bodies.

Pushing forward launching the steward council would help tremendously with network/node monitoring, support and bug fixing. If the group can marshal the volunteers I don’t think there is any reason to wait, it just needs to be added as board resolutions to the trustee meeting agenda (they are meeting more often now — every other week — to help with the transition.)

Charter may be under evaluation - or coincide with general interruptions - may be on hold.
