- As yet topics need to be divided into time slots.
- Key topics
- financials (fundraising, allocation) - see /wiki/spaces/steering/pages/405211494

- reviewing training

- Might be better to include video as a possibility
- Haven't changed format in practice over time

- Suggestion: find a way to have a smaller agenda with specific topics that to discuss or where action is necessary
- Overall need to make the calls more vibrant
