Conference Attendance:
- Per Sholars received the ticket code and plans to meet with Per Scholars on October 16th to discuss attendance guidance for the New York conference.

SIG Governance:
- The SIG Charter and Roadmap is nearing completion after offline work with several stakeholders, and this will define the long-term focus.
-
DE SIG Alignment:
