Valter welcomed the participants to the last TTC meeting.
Steve Cotter joined the beginning of the meeting to get a short update on what TTC was focusing on in the past and the type of work was done. SC talked shortly about his background, including the work at REANZZ, inquired about the expectations of the TTC group.
Agenda changes: in absence of Alessandra, DG will update the TTC about the WISE workshop.
VC presentation on the GEANT Community Committee moved from the end of the meeting to the beginning.

VC presented the ToR for adoption by the GA during the next meeting. If adopted, it will be managed by the Executive Team
Framework for community based initiatives.
GÉANT Community Committee (GCC) will replace the TTC. Executive, having listened to the GCC, will make decisions.
GCP will mainly focus on Task Forces, SIGs, Workshops, and Collaborative projects.
GCP will be an advisory body, formed by 6-8 members appointed by the board and a Chair elected by the GÉANT GA.
Meetings would take place minimum 3 times a year, and once a year would hold a meeting with the board.
If ToR is approved, GCC Chair needs to be elected - elections possibly carried out online.
Chair then would identify the potential members of the group and make suggestions to the board.
VC proposed to expend the existence of TTC until the new group is established to assure continuity.
VN announced that he will be a candidate to become the Chair.
LD suggested that perhaps there is a possibility of formalising the online platforms as a new thing that GCC could focus on. VC explained that ToR won’t be changed at this time, but it can be done later.
VN plans to organise the first meeting early next year. New people will be invited and some perhaps will stay the same. Would like to not have everyone starting from the beginning in March - shift people in so that there is not situation where everyone needs to be re-elected at the same time.
