   • Schedule Adjustment: A one-hour break after the last lecture is noted.

   • Proposed Improvement: Trygg suggests filling the one-hour break with another lecture to maintain momentum and avoid competing events. Hermes agrees.

   • Action: Myriam to adjust the schedule to remove the inauguration box and potentially address competing presentation sessions. Abraham to contact Victoria Forstander for a complete course/lecture during the break.

2. Victoria Forstander's Participation:

   • Confirmation: Victoria Forstander (Abraham's mother, 20+ years in Gor teaching) will teach for the Summit.

   • Topic 1: Are women allowed to be Magistrates and HOCs (Heads of Caste)? (Yes or No debate)

   • Topic 2: Is formal training for Scribes and Magistrates needed, or is on-the-job experience sufficient? (Includes the "both" option as well)

   • Topic 3 (Proposed by Abraham): Should Scribes or Merchants be Merchant Magistrates (as this varies by city)?

   • Rules: Rules and format for the debates will be released soon, limiting word count. Participants will not choose their topic but defend a given position.

   • Interest: Several attendees (Kati, Bea, Kiki) are suggested as good candidates for debate. Hermes expresses interest in observing.

4. DJ for Summit:

   • Confirmation: Current DJ is scheduled for Sunday from 4-6 PM.

   • Discussion: Whether to have a Morning DJ for Euro (European) audience or skip it.

   • Action: Schedule to be adapted if Victoria takes the lecture slot during the 1-hour break.

5. Lady Skylar Outreach:

   • Status: Myriam approached Lady Skylar for participation but received no response.

   • Note: Myriam emphasizes that Skylar was indeed asked.

6. SCoG Membership & Outreach:

   • Membership Update: SCoG membership has increased by 30 people (thanks to Enkara), now totaling 105, making it the largest active group.

   • Goal: Unite scribes and give reasons for independent scribes to join the group.

   • Action: Myriam will create a poster for SCoG sign-ups at the event.
