Hi Jesse,

I do not think we have anything too abstract,

- it is a closing-out and planning event - checkpoint if you like -
albeit not face to face one (so a "virtual" event)
- during this event we will look upon what is ready - roadmap cards
which can be closed out: what was delivered, were the acceptance
criteria met, was there some issue which stopped delivery of all the
needed components, and what will happen to those (move to Q3 - or defer,
give a better estimate on when to expect a conclusion?)
- there should also be some discussion over what will happen in the
period till the next face to face Connect (q3.12 - end of October?):
which roadmap cards are there for that work

>From a procedural perspective this means

- I set some hangouts with the working groups and platform TLs, in which
OPSCOM at least can participate (others too - within the limits of a
hangout)
- During the hangout we go through the Q2 cards for the team and define
what is delivered and what not, also looking at actions for the
non-delivered parts.
- We can also look at the cards which are coming for Q3 and determine at
least when these will be ready for review by the TSC.

I guess from the TL perspective it means checking
- with your team, what will happen for the period till end of October
- with dependencies - what do you need to make sure that deliverables
are not at risk

Does that clarify it more?

Best regards,
