   2. Approved as final draft by WG

   3. Final approval by SC

4. WPTF Focus Areas

   1. Alignment – ensuring activities and deliverables are aligned across ToIP

   2. @Scott Perry  commented on importance of alignment – and some of the siloed activities within ToIP (due to lack of alignment processes)

5. Promotion of approved white papers (and deliverables)

   1. @Drummond Reed  – commented on the current status of the Communications Committee (CC) who are now in a position to provide guidance and support for promotion – largely through the efforts of @Judith Fleenor (Deactivated) and Elisa

   2. @Judith Fleenor (Deactivated) is also working on building out the deliverables pipeline from inception to formal publication

   3. @Drummond Reed  – commented on a recent discussion at the APAC SC meeting – concerning the idea of using blog posts to communicate approved deliverables – would require a short description – to be undertaken by the CC with feedback from authors and ensure harmonization of ToIP messaging

   4. Discussion also included ideas of using webinars

   5. Discussion amongst WPTF members concerning other means to promote – e.g., use of industry specific media that could include publications or online content. Discussion also on leveraging ToIP members who promote ToIP activities at conferences (whether sector specific or topic)

6. @Karen Hand notified TF - will be away for next scheduled WPTF – after discussion with group – decided to hold WPTF Plenary Meeting first week of September to focus solely on the Foundational white papers currently under development
