BIT Report
BIT Supplementary Document.docx

  • informative supplementary report

Alec moves to approve for publication, Sal seconds, Approved by acclimation 


Alec will share the Kantara templated report after the call and work with Amanda to get it published

Inactive WG Review (FI, ISI)

FI - Alec will inform Keith of the change. Dormant for over a year

ISI - ready to be archived. Dormant for over a year

We will archive these two groups. Content still available in confluence, in the archived spaces area

Policy on AI Transcribers

Groups are seeing people join with AI assistants, that listen and create transcripts/summaries of the call

issues: That output is available to the tool owner, not the group by default

issues: some items that could be omitted from the minutes would be captured by transciption → group can elect to 'turn it off' 

pro: Would be useful to have for Kantara, minute quality isn't reliable


Controls: clear notice in general, group choice, and at at each group call, zoom access to call

  • approved tools e.g. zoom transcription only,
    • option down to each group to activate the tools? 
    • → no personal transcribers
    • part of the minuting process to include AI transcription on confluence
    • ability to modify transcript if requested


Deferred topic: full recordings for group calls






Operating Procedures Review & Updates
AOB

report writing style guides e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/top-10-tips-style-voice 

→ include in quality standards for reports/recommendations
