What has happened the Cash Transfers proposal? Are there proposals elsewhere that cover that? @bill_anderson @petyakangalova @ximboden
It’s great that there seems to be emerging consensus on the Results and other issues. Thanks everyone for coming together and constructively trying to seek solutions.
We would like to achieve consensus for the remaining items on the table, particularly the humanitarian elements. In order to do that, we would like to hold a group conference call.
We want to make sure we have a good range of people on the call, so that we can hear a number of voices, including from those who wish to use the data effectively.
The IATI Tech Team will set up the call, please do your best to participate and help us to reach consensus.
Will the time and date of the call be posted here?
Dear John and Co,
Please kindly add me to the Humanitarian call.

Here is a Doodle poll with options for a call between 29 August and 6 September. Please could everyone who is involved in the outstanding issues register their interest.
If anyone is aware of colleagues who should be on this call but who are on leave until the end of August, could you put a placeholder on the poll for them?
Could it be made clear that private communications will be made public so that these can then be reposted (either anonymously or otherwise)? Then a more complete picture is at least available to everyone.
All, last chance to register on the Doodle poll for the call on humanitarian upgrades to 2.03.
Flagging to @theo.sande @Herman @YohannaLoucheur and anyone else who would like to be involved.
@andylolz See this topic for the discussion on earmarking humanitarian aid activities in IATI and this topic for our more general concerns about the alignment of the IATI standard with IATI’s mission and goals.
Thanks @Herman. But as you demonstrate, those are things that have been posted in public. I’m referring to the “divisions … not being aired in public” that @bill_anderson mentions. I’d love to see a policy of IATI republishing those, in order to facilitate informed discussions.
I just added my schedule on the doodle thing. Thanks for the reminder!

I think the “additions to the org type codelist” is meant to point to: Organisation type codes - additions (included 2.03)?
Thank you very much for organising the humanitarian IATI call yesterday. The discussions were very interesting with positive progress.
I wanted to enquire whether a short readout/summary of the meeting will be made available and, if so, when?
Thank you very much.
@Katharina_Hanifnia Thank you again for attending the consultation call and apologies for the delayed response.
We have now responded to each individual post that was on the agenda of the consultation call with the outcome of the discussion. We will not be adding a summary of the discussion, but if you have any specific questions or you require clarification, please respond directly to the individual posts.
