Background

At the end of the National Digital Hui Jan 2019, we double-checked agreed decisions and tasks from the hui. We also sought volunteers (a coordinator and team members) who were interested in being involved in a working group to resolve/work on each topic.

Note

  • Coordination means the person is interested in driving a group.
  • Team member means the volunteer is interested in play a key active role in a group.
  • Interested means a volunteer has a general interest in the area.
