Hi, I can not read the election requirements document on “e.com” from both via corporate network and via Internet directly. Is there any other way to access?
Ken

P.S. I would not be able to join the call for the time being.

I cannot access the doc, too. @ts1433 can you fix it?

Can you all see this?

I’m waiting host to start the call.

It seems like most of us are not available today, so let us reschedule the meeting to 12 pm UST on August 15th. I changed the calender invite.

Block11

  • London Regtech Event (scheduled the week before Block11):

  • U.S. government employees weren’t allowed to participate because the event isn’t U.S.-based. Consider bringing Regtech discussions into Block11 to encourage U.S. government employees’ participation.

  • Block11 Session Content Description:

  • Need a brief description of Block11 session content to craft an email encouraging DC-based individuals to participate.

  • Deadline: by Friday’s meeting (Takaya to handle).

Other Discussion Topics:

  • Ticket Charges for Main Discussants:

  • It’s too early to ask main discussants to purchase tickets after requesting their participation.

  • Distribute tickets provided by sponsors to members of other organizations.

  • Consider ticket charges for main discussants in the long term, but first research if standardization organizations charged for tickets during their early days.

  • Communication Tools:

  • Discourse:

  • Maintain as a platform to trace BGIN’s history in the long term.

  • No need to allocate many resources to promoting engagement on Discourse right now.

  • Continue using Telegram while recording necessary content on Discourse and Newsletter.

  • Newsletter for Constant Engagement:

  • An email chain might be more effective for encouraging ongoing engagement with BGIN.

  • Periodically send out minimum information (e.g., working group agendas, event schedules) as a newsletter to previous Block participants.

  • Consider using Mailchimp for this (service details to be checked by Takaya).

  • Content for the Newsletter:

  • We can contribute ideas for the content or maybe discuss in the Steering Committee?

  • Assisting with social media or newsletter operations is too much; a dedicated marketing associate to manage everything is necessary.
