Working group status updates

Introducing new AG member from CDL: John Chodacki

John Chodacki is now a member of the Advisory Group

Sustainability issues

The start of a discussion about the large dependence of many ARKA activities on a single organization and individual (CDL & John Kunze).  This is not sustainable and for the ARKA to be a viable organization in the long term, this situation needs to be addressed.

The conversation after our presentation was very thought-provoking and we touched on:

  • How can the ARK Alliance build a more sustainable structure that doesn’t rely so heavily on single people or single organization?
  • What role does this advisory group have in the governance of the wider ARK community?
  • How can we fine-tune our AG processes and the processes of the other working groups to ensure multiple people/orgs are involved in sustaining our initiative?
  • Overall, how can we ensure that our structures are right-sized and resourced to sustain the community?

The discussion seemed very timely and important so attendees determined it was best to not wait until December to meet again.

Action items

  •  John Chodacki will schedule an ad hoc meeting in November to continue the discussion
