Hi everyone, sharing my notes. This is a wiki and so we can all jump in and edit it. Wikis here on Edgeryders have a revision history so there’s no risk of losing any informationm. Feel free to get your hands dirty 
In attendance: Khatuna, Gazbee, Alberto, Nadia, Matthias, Noemi
7th of March
Engagement managers
-given that we’ve just gone public with Spot the Future, we’ll give it more time to get the word out through the network and reach more people, give everyone a chance, and see what talent surfaces
Preliminary foresight report
-having read the Armenian report, we think it’s very informative - can we get the contacts of those people who voiced some of the key opinions and informed the findings, and invite them in the STF conversation?
-in Egypt: the reports were computed in March 2013, before the Muslim Brotherhood got out of office, which is why the civic disengagement of youth and the rise of conservative discourse: no longer valid
Engagement early on: Focus on getting the Tour going
-participatory approach, build it together with the team and community on a shared platform space, via public calls and continuous engagement, before the official launch
We could time the release of a shared call to action - to go through the press offices and anchor it in the upcoming Tour, plan the tour and invite people to the workshops; people share their story and info about what they’re doing, and start getting to know each other online before the event
Opportunities:
-find a slot and produce a webinar for Get Online Week to present Spot the Future to the Egyptian innovators: http://getonlineweek-mena.com/
-one of the first universities in Georgia launching the first hackathon: send them the call for participation, invite them online with possibility to join the ER tour
-also engage people who were involved in the post2015 consultations
Communications and how we can ensure coordination:
- retweeting stuff with a shared \#hashtag (#SpotTheFuture?)
- because of less use of twitter in the Georgia/Armenia region, look for facebook groups, create event page to link to edgeryders platform
- mid next week have a call with communications people; first draft ready before so they can have a look
Nadia and Noemi to put together materials early next week
Khatuna, Gazbee to check locations for the tour: think of a very informal venue, where people need to be comfortable with the setting, less political or institutional load; wifi, coffee, tea, fruit
We’ve decided to move our weekly meetings on Thursdays 1pm cet
