[governance] Draft Project Plan for Website Restoration/ Was IGC Website (Way Forward)

Fri Jul 19 16:12:47 EDT 2019

Dear All,

1.The website is independent of elections.
2.On a practical note, it would be good to have a technical co-lead,
suggest Imran Ahmed.
3.Perhaps, Farzaneh, you can draft a site map and invite us to comment.
4.In the meantime, there should be a plan for content management which is
where you will need both Technical and Content. To this end, I suggest we
rope in Avri who volunteered to assist if called upon on the 19th July,
2019.

Best Wishes,
Sala
