+
+Background: 
+~~~~~~~~~

+
+Tactical - IIRS - workflows: 
+http://www.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/ed-mitchell/2013-08/international-initiative-registration-service-workflows
+
+Meeting notes: 
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+1. Get clarification on the proposal 
+2. See if the national hubs would be interested
+3. Ben/Filipa - are they happy to share this with the national hubs
+4. What Ed and Jim want
+5. Budgets
+
+
+1. Clarification - anything can be clarified?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Drupal 6 and 7 operating at the same time?
+- yes
+- data will be synchronised between two sites
+- drupal 7 will be the local site which will be the widget which will show in the national hub site
+
+Don't want to dictate anything
+- key goal of web project - develop an international initiative directory
+- this has been identified by the hubs at an early meeting
+- Ben feels that tech integration will be welcomed
+-- bigger picture will be happy
+- Filipa - this position is general from the hubs - strategic vision
+-- only key issue - other systems 
+--- sweden, brazil, germany, us - incumbent systems
+-- would lead to separate conversation track 
+
+What systems to use - For new hubs - there is a live question - 
+- this is a good moment to have that conversation
+- there will be 1 hour on IT - with hub technical people
+
+Democratic model:
+- This tech proposal also has significant power structure suggestions
+-- TN not as the top of a decision making pyramid - being part of a growing International tech and data group sharing decisions
+--- this fits int0 with TN's ongoing discussions around power and responsibility on friday meeting
+
+2. National hubs interested?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+There is already a political agreement that having a international initiatives directory is the way to go - so the strategic goal is agreed
+Tactically - there will be key doubts because of systems in use already - so there will be some work at a 'lower' level over the next few years
+
+3. Ben and Filipa - happy?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
+Makes sense for them
+- Ben need a presentation and pictures to talk about
+- demo would be fantastic 
+- Ben going to need some coaching 
+-- Jim will be in direct with Ben to help coach
+-- Docs will be in wiki: https://tech.transitionnetwork.org/trac/wiki/IIRS
+-- Ed will provide Ben with powerpoint of the screengrabs
+
+Sharing in advance
+- now? or at meet? 
+- in a dossier before the meet? 
+- AGREED: both will share the information in some form in a bigger dossier before the meet (tbc)
+
+4. What do Ed and Jim want?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+1. Approval and/or discussion of strategy and tactical idea (IIRS)
+2. country to do a beta trial 
+
+What is needed from a country?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Administrator (and colleague if suitable) from a settled national hub (i.e. a group with established identity and processes) will need to be able to: 
+
+- translate the language that the widget uses in its workflow
+- embed a widget into the national hub website
+- respond to emails when initiatives are added
+- moderate applications for initiative applications (simple 'confirm'/'deny' option - NOT a power based thing, just for spam/sense checking)
+
+5. Budgets
+~~~~~~~~~
+- £7K budget to get to beta product with one country
+- this will inform us
+-- cost to produce another language
+-- administrative roles and responsibilities
+-- any design changes that are suitable
