Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:

The session had the goal of sharing with the community the thinking behind the work the Province of British Columbia is doing under the label of the “Verifiable Organizations Network” and its first public service BC’s Orgbook (https://theorgbook.pathfinder.gov.bc.ca --- soon to be https://orgbook.gov.bc.ca)

The idea here was to “talk over” our standard presentation slides (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hElPRysMq7oAhIGVRgRLYiKpHTfqcbS_) in a kind of “Directors Cut” version that explains our reasoning for why, what and how are working through our efforts. The “Directors Cut” slides are here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1frvLV5TApnUVNiFsfYYaA6WHjZpkLv-xfW2F1iqGjJM)
