COVID 19 Edition Survey for Countries (3 min) | Rebecca Alban (Unlicensed) | We are depending on our network of partners to help circulate a short survey, across all the countries that we work in, to help us paint an accurate picture of their digital tool needs to support COVID vaccine distribution. This information will help us to adapt OpenLMIS accordingly to become a key tool in the COVID19 vaccination efforts. The OpenLMIS for COVID- Country Survey is in google forms, here is the link: https://forms.gle/da9zafYpefu1rYMU7 So far, 12 responses mostly from CHAI countries. Only CHAI and VR have signed up for circulating this in their countries. We ask for all partners to do so via this sign up sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F5CPe7LjkSsSHlCZu_eTpd221D_gctP0TqEYJSMvdiY/edit#gid=0 | |
UNDP LTA opportunity: update (2 min) | Rebecca Alban (Unlicensed) | Submitted! Thanks for all who are part of the consortium for their cooperation (VR, SolDevelo, JSI, BAO, CHAI, PATH). This is an important opportunity for the community, to be able to get UNDP funded country-specific contracts over the next 3-5 years. Next step is review from UNDP and hopefully the award of a LTA from UNDP to OpenLMIS (via VillageReach as contracting mechanism). | |

Update on IP from Partnership Working Group | Brandon Bowersox-Johnson | Originally the Stewards team suggested a CAA mechanism (in the IP Summary we shared). Since this was flagged at our last Working Group meeting, JSI and VillageReach have been meeting to discuss this. We have agreed in principle to a CLA mechanism--where JSI and VillageReach would each hold copyright, but would sign a CLA to formalize and document contributions to the open source project. Recommendation for the OpenLMIS Community is that we recommend contributors sign a CAA to give copyright of their contributions, but we would also provide an alternative CLA option. The downside of CLA for the community, is that the more organizations who hold some of the copyright, the harder it is to get all those parties to agree to transfer it to a neutral third party fiscal sponsor, or to agree to change the license (if we ever wanted to), or to go to court for infringement/enforcement claims, for example. So CAA is still cleaner and better for the community as the preferred option. Questions:

Choosing the Future Fiscal Sponsor | Brandon Bowersox-Johnson | Identifying and establishing a neutral third party is something that will happen after the Handover Partnership begins, and it may take 1-2 years. In brief, no existing fiscal sponsor checks all the boxes of the criteria that make them ideal for OpenLMIS (or for other Global Goods in our space). Questions:

Use of March call as Vitalliance "Meet & Greet?" | Rebecca Alban (Unlicensed) | How does the group feel about re-purposing next month's call to bring in reps from Vitalliance to: make short presentation about their vision, be introduced to everyone, and engage in Q&A | |
