Notes from last time 8/16/21

Anuket Assured Program Questions from CVC

Couple of open questions from today's CVC meeting.

1. Did we finalize the program / release name, i.e. should we move forward with Anuket Assured 2021.09 for example (assuming a September release)?

Yes, we are recommending a date to be included in the product card (the card), but this will not be in the badge itself. The tooling should configured with this release name in mind. 

2. What is the status of the LFN Landscapes integration work?

Brandon gave an update. We are working on 1. Revamped Verification Page. 2. New pane on the LFN Landscape. Badges upon click from on both sources will pop up a product card from the landscape with detailed information.

Ideally, we'd have the first cohort of badge recipients, or at least 1 as part of the announcement. Scot/Heather will explore this with MSFT/Azure, Scot Steeleto schedule a meeting for this week (ideally). 1:1 outreach also being planned to existing badge holders and on the Anuket TSC Call. (Pre-launch Beta). Help us test the system, get the badge etc. WR: Gooch, Nokia: Gergely & Jonna. E///: Georg & Phil. Huawei: Uli & Bill, Seshu. ZTE: ??, HPE & LG Plus. Contacts on file. Brandon to take first draft. HK to handle update to Anuket TSC tomorrow.

3. In terms of the actual AAP launch, is or would LFN plan a press release, and could this include the first companies awarded the badge?  This came up in terms of what "carrot" is available to get some companies interested in trial testing the program.

We ned a joint project plan (excel). Brandon, Heather, Sandra, and Lincoln to have a call this week on the plan. 

We will also be speaking with the EUAG during their meeting tomorrow as well. Heather will be joining this call. 

Also, need to tie Anuket Assured into the MAC Marketing Planning Strategy. Need a longer-term strategy and goals (not this week but soon). Could feed into MAC strategy & vice versa. Anuket participant interviews (the strategic owners) might be a good idea at some point. Operators and others. Start with a few targeted 1:1s. Next Anuket MWG Topic: Discuss in depth. 

Future Call idea: Tick Tok: Strategy - Launch - Strategy - Launch. 

Brandon to schedule AA Kickoff Call

Jill/Scot to have an initial media training call.
