+### Overview/Priorities
+- Comments from the BUs about blockers and miscommunications - Reevaluation of our comms strategy: BUs are responsible for DevRel, BD, and technical content. We’re responsible for QC of outgoing content (wordsmiths, video editing, and packaging) and non-technical content. This will be communicated with them and consolidated along with the strategy asap.
+- New Mantra: Brand awareness and Learning Communities, which are both measurable by proxy. This means we focus more on performance and growth KPIs and reporting these clearly to C/J.
+- With clear success metrics in place + costs and resources used we can finally focus on optimise our efforts and use it as a way to guide conversations about prioritising requests. This includes things like revisiting the creation of swag for each event etc.
+- New champions model for each BU. https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPOFj6t8=/. We have an account manager/ implement, test it and iterate as soon as possible
+
+### Amir - Tech & Design
+- Logos System Design new version (design) is done. Development continue with Joao. Will move on to documentation.
+- LPE project is done. Optimising the scoring system for the search pending a lot of content. V1 is officially done. Renamed to *Network State Press*
+- Ihor working on sketches and directing of *Institute of Free Tech*. Will share soon.
+- BDP - brand design portal, we designed and managed the dev before but now on hold. For now focus on Brand Guidelines in Docusauraus for BUs.
+
+### Nick - Digital Content Studio
+- Presentations, swag work with Veronika & Video for events.
+- Jonny has presented a few options for the podcast
+
+### Christian - Podcast
+- Open to doing Twitter spaces, in another category to keep it more streamlined and controlled. He wants interactive discussions, open quesitons, brainstorming etc.
+- Currently QC of Snowden
+- No new interviews, just doing checks of Ameen, Baylina  and Assange. Will have it ready
+- Jarrad will present the townhall
+
+### Matt - Copy
+- Status articles - Sterlin and Matt.
+- BU Docs sites - Amelia. - good to go.
+- Mode of presentation guidelines (part of brand guidelines) for BUs - by Matt.
+- Develp site for Nimbus - Rick
+- IFT landing page - Rick
+- Collectively, series of articles about beginner’s guide to Network States.
+
+### Santiago - Movement Building
+- Focusing on brand awareness and growth - we will set up reporting structures for Carl and Jarrad that are numbers based in relation to cost effectiveness.
+- Odoo Email tool is with infra - configuration needed of the external SMTP server.
+- Finding a PR moments for the raise.
+- Next week and a half will be focused on updating the Logos server to have a proper onboarding strategy to optimise for a learning community experience. Will meet with Eddy and Jen to do this. Jen is currently updated all the all the Discord servers.
+
+### Louisa - Events
+- POW and HCCP done - challenge not enough brand awareness
+- Metrics and dashboards to get a clear impact on KPIs related to events.
+
+### J&F - Project Management
+- Assessment for workspace, work/information flow and dashboard optimization intra and inter teams and projects.
+- Organize around BUs and content pipelines
+- Tools assessment

+### network privacy and mixnet:
+
+#### :research
+
+- Derived asymptotic expressions for anonymity and communication failure probabilities, when taking into account certain values for population size and network size. Used simulations and analytic framework to study failure probabilities in mixnets of different sizes. Assuming delays between sending and receiving messages are independent random variables from the exponential distribution, derived probability distribution of latency. Main result: one cannot have both low probability of communication and low probability of anonymity failures. The probability of anonymity failure is decreasing with the number of layers but at the expense of increasing the latency.
+- Finalize research of network-level privacy solutions. Learned important information on: Framework for formalizing privacy, Nym and tokenomics of a Mixnet, Sphinx, and Loopix. Notes found at: https://www.notion.so/Network-Privacy-2dabf0aa878744e299b2ebb97120876f (summaries still WIP).
+
+#### :development
+
+- Lock Overwatch to a specific revision in nomos: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/455.
+- Implement and pipe services lifecycle handling in Overwatch: https://github.com/logos-co/Overwatch/pull/27.
+- Bash is being replaced with python due to adding mixnet to docker. At the moment, small issues with node spawning order are being resolved (for tree overlay). ETA on finishing: beginning of this week.
+- Add API to return mempool item status: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/449.
+- Make libp2p gossipsub settings configurable: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/454.
+- Avoid temporary gossipsub errors when bootstrapping tests: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/442.
+
+### testnet:
+
+#### development:
+
+- Skeleton for nomos API service - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/451.
+- Support generics for overwatch derive - https://github.com/logos-co/Overwatch/pull/26.
+- Fix clippy warnings for rust 1.73 - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/452.
+- Remove waku mentions from codebase - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/446.
+- Improved integration tests.
+- Handle corner cases in the unhappy path: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/438.
+- Add canonical ID to attestations and certificates: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/448.
+- Add functionalities to nomos-cli: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/450.
+
+### private PoS:
+
+#### research:
+
+- Exploring multi-staking PPoS design for Carnot.
+- Idea: a slightly modified version of PoS, unknown how much funds a single validator has and validators are grouped by the amount of stake they have. This property gives validators group-based k-anonymity, where they are indistinguishable (on the stake level). This also enables us to assign the same voting power per each group of validators, which then can be reflected on the overlay structure.
+- Considering a couple of additional stake hiding/obfuscating techniques without making the initial design too complex. We incentivize/penalize validators based not on the voting power they represent but on the stake. We can have a system that diverges from an equality between voting power and stake, to a system that approximates the voting power based on the stake but the rewarding/penalization directly follows the stake.
+
+### data availability:
+
+#### development:
+
+- DA nomos API based on the new skeleton: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/456.
+- Add API to return DA blobs: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/453.
