[christianfernandez]

Hi @cassgvp , apologies for not making last week's meeting. Has any name been put up for "Global South champion/rep"? If not, I am interested in taking up that role.

[scotthosking]

Hi @christianfernandez - I'd like us to come back to this role and plans in the new year as we need to heavily involve the Steering Committee who oversee the multi-year outlook for the CI conferenece.

[geo-rao]

Based on the activities and past categorization, here are my suggestions:

Programme Committee (right now are the people who already volunteered to review for the conference & more reviewers' names can be added later):

• @geo-rao
• @gcouairon
• Orlando
• @acocac
• @ampersandmcd ...

Conference Proceedings: Andrew Hyde (Cambridge University Press)

Local Organizing Committee:

• @LelleDemertzi
• Katy Tompson
• @aldenc
• others?

Communication (website & social media):

• @cassgvp
• @ampersandmcd
• Andrew Hyde
• @LelleDemertzi
• Ricardo

Hackathon/Workshop/Tutorial (depending on what we want to do this year):

• suggesting @acocac & the team planning to organize the pre-conference workshop/tutorials (see issue alan-turing-institute/climate-informatics-2024#15)

Newly-identified roles this year (we can either put this under programme committee or list them separately):

• EDI chair & participant experience: @cassgvp
• Online experience champions: maybe Orlando, (also maybe Megnah?)
• Reproducibility champions: @acocac @dorchard (and others?)

Still to be identified:

• Global south champion: (@christianfernandez ?)

[cassgvp]

Updated with this commit, now live on website.

Where should the below be named? At the moment I have them just on "local organising"?

• [ ] Marla Fuchs
• [ ] Christian Fernandez Perotti (?"2025 Host Partnerships")
• [ ] Robert Rouse

[christianfernandez]

Hi @cassgvp and @geo-rao , Marla is attending to personal issues at the moment and probably won't be able to commit to any specific role. As I stated in last year, I would be happy to champion the Global South discussion.
