Updates

• Review actions and updates

  • Update on UNDP

    • The Secretary reported that UNDP had responded regarding KYC issues, and the Committee requested confirmation that all six countries identified in the proposal remained actively engaged.
  • Update on the KPI survey

    • The Committee noted that three or four responses had been received, with further committee feedback still expected before the survey was closed and the research findings compiled.
  • Update on ELK Consortium Milestone 1

    • The Secretary reported that ELK Consortium had completed its first milestone but had not yet formally submitted it, and agreed to provide instructions for submission through the new milestone process.
• Complete the Committee survey

  • The Committee completed or progressed the committee-effectiveness survey during the session and provided feedback on questions concerning participation across multiple committees.
• Review feedback for TKNFRA and Wada

  • The Committee reviewed the proposed milestone-review process, agreeing that milestone submissions should be made through GitHub and reviewed by two Committee reviewers followed by the Chair, while initial feedback on TKNFRA identified points requiring clarification against its proposal and milestone criteria.
• Discuss 2027 deliverables

  • The Secretary recalled the proposed 2027 deliverables framework and noted that, although the related budget proposal was not approved, funding may become available through Intersect to progress work on critical unfunded processes, with further planning to follow once funding is confirmed.
