Minutes:

There are no comments on or amendments to the minutes of the previous meeting.
Sandra gives a brief report on the call which the Core Team organised with the interim diversity coordinators. The CT’s reason to organize the call was that there was increasing confusion and some frustration in the Working Groups about the diversification process, and the fact that ‘the real work’ had not started yet. The conclusion of the meeting was that the groups can begin the scoping phase as soon as names for additional group members have been passed on the CT. There is no need to wait until the new members have been onboarded.
Finalizing diversity process - the group decides that there is no need to come up with additional names to fill expertise gaps. We may have a lack of expertise in certain areas, such as tech-solutions for community health and active community management, but we can bring in experts in these areas if/when we need them. From the list of names we already came up with to fill obvious diversity gaps, every member of the group will select 5 and indicate their choice in the spreadsheet. Votes have to be in by Sunday, October 21.
Getting to work! - the group discusses how to get started with our real work: elaborating the strategic direction to the topic Community Health. We realise that there is still some unclarity concerning the exact time line and the ‘terms of reference’ for our end-product. Also we have not yet really had an open discussion on community health, nor a chance to get to know each other’s ideas, hopes and expectations. This would be a longer meeting (max 2 hours) and will take place on October 29th.
Reading and resources list progress - everyone will keep adding relevant or really good resources/reading materials to the list.
