Joe Alam (New Zealand, works with Australian & NZ governments on rules of code) expressed interest in distributed ledger technology for the public sector.

N/A
Working Group Charter Review & Approval
The draft charter was reviewed. New participants needed time to review it. The goal is to get it approved by the Growth and Marketing Committee (GMC) to officially define the working group's purpose and goals. The GMC meets weekly.
Simo will request the GMC secretary to add the charter to next week's agenda. Also to share the charter with GMC members beforehand.
New participants (Alex, Joe, Ermias, Lucas) will review the charter before next week's GMC meeting and provide any major concerns.
Working Group Documentation & Communication
Simo noted that the working group knowledge base and meeting summaries are pending charter approval. He has sent Discord invitations to new participants. The group's work is strategic and idea-focused, aiming to identify partners for implementation.
Simo Simovic will create the working group knowledge base and publish meeting summaries online once the charter is approved. All communication will be via the Intersect Discord channel.
Sharing Approaches & Best Practices for Enterprise Engagement
A representative from Cardano Foundation (CF) presented their approach, detailing strategic partnerships (integrating ecosystem technology, case studies), internal tool development (Proof of Origin, Vidian, Reeve), and geographical focus (Europe, Dubai, LATAM). A team member emphasized non-cryptocentric conversations to address enterprise needs, focusing on data validation and identity layers, often driven by regulatory requirements. A third individual showcased the Academy's offerings (Blockchain for Business Leaders masterclasses, certifications, online platforms) for enterprise upskilling and lead generation, including their open-source content model with consultancies.
Laura will share her presentation (PDF or slides) in the Discord channel for access.
Phil Lewis will reach out to Murasaki to request a similar presentation on Emurgo's approach, especially concerning Asia and Africa. The shared document will be used to collect pain points and challenges in enterprise and government adoption.
Challenges & Future Focus
Discussions highlighted the need for tools to support solutions, the "crypto-averse" nature of some large organizations, and the importance of simplifying technical jargon. A participant with consulting experience stressed the need for business professionals to help decision-makers understand implementability and the value of specific examples.
Ermiasi will prepare a presentation for the next session covering Storm Partners' actionable plan, including involving their legal team for jurisdictional entry.
Simo Simovic will ensure all new joiners are properly on the meeting invite list.
Simo Simovic will reach out to IOG to encourage their participation in the group.
