12 | | * Identify the theme-based small group discussions - what the themes are and a brief description of each. We can schedule both theme-specific small group discussions and also general small group discussions. |

15 | | * Propose technology to be used for small group discussions (mumble - rock solid audio quality vs jitsi-meet - video of all participants, but unpreditable audio quality and impossible to connect for some people with weak Internet signals) |
16 | | * Decision on whether small group discussions should be recorded or just summarized via notes on the discussion board |
