Dear All,
Kindly find minutes
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nXwz_3ZVLnFHmPIiqcD4n5qIeQqLIA3IEJkhCRal5UQ/edit>
for today's meeting for your review.
Also, at today's meeting it was noted that most members do not have the
WikiIndaba Conference Planning Pack. Kindly find attached. We also noted
that it only covers the planning of a physical event.
Best,
