Animesh will check with Souad Ouali to ensure Orange wants to lead the Principles working group and host regular meetings. Committee members on the call were not included in the email chains that occurred so we need to confirm who is in charge and how communication will occur.

The Technical working group has made progress but nothing concrete to report.

A possible third working group could form around AI Standards.
