I propose:
First, @ericnbarrett and I (and whoever else wants to join) work together on a wiki (maybe GoogleDocs if you guys use Google, if not a wiki on the platform) or something to produce a one-pager. The purpose of the one-pager is simply to show it to the broader Futurespotters Georgia group: it is a way to save everyone time, as 15 people can read one page in 15 minutes tops, whereas a 15-way conversation takes hours. We share it here and have a conversation; after that, we rewrite the one-pager to incorporate people’s insights. At this point in time, we don’t care about the calls. We simply try to identify (1) what needs to be done that (2) we have the skills to do, at least a little bit.
Then you have your meeting with the EU people. You send them the one-pager a couple of days in advance of the meeting. They should suggest some calls in H2020.
Then we have a Google hangout to decide, based on the information that you get in that meeting, what to do. If we decide to go for it, we will need to form a group, design a simple workflow of who does what, and a simple calendar. We need the calendar because at this point we are working towards a specific call, that has a deadline.
Works?
What do you guys think about involving the Egyptians?
