I also think we should start a conversation about selection criteria for our own reps to that WG.

Some questions are raised on how to implement this effectively without hindering EPDP team kick-off e.g. a short trainining (in-house or from 3rd party for what we saw already opposition from contracted party), just primers and material to be read by participants. at the end, it is not the most urgent issue but we can resolve this quickly. I have no preference but will support a proposal that doesn't divert us from the bulk of the work.

>>> This one kinda summarises the whole discussion, thanks Donna. I agree with you. To clarify: WG members will be selected by their respective groups (based on their own criteria), then these selected members will undertake a course/training that some of our members have volunteered to design (including Paul), plus some people suggested by Rubens to help them have the same understanding of the scope of this WG. That's what I got from this discussion and which I find useful. Thanks, Arsene 2018-06-13 23:53 UTC+02:00, Austin, Donna via council : > I think Marie has identified an important point.
