- Ian, you wanted to return to the letter (after TPAC goals clarified)
- 16:29:46 [Ian]
- IJ: we have not yet framed questions we have for them
- 16:29:50 [Ian]
- ..to engage people more:
- 16:29:56 [Ian]
- - make it more like a great opportunity
- 16:30:02 [dezell]
- q+
- 16:30:02 [Ian]
- - give a sense of what we would like from them
- 16:30:07 [manu]
- q+ to say we're asking them about their biggest problems in the digital offers space, right?
- 16:30:11 [Ian]
- ack dezell
- 16:30:27 [Ian]
- dezell: I spoke with someone from NACS magazine this week. He is writing a piece on digital offers
- 16:30:50 [Ian]
- ...I think there are two big costs to people who distribute coupons:
- 16:31:02 [Ian]
- 1) Deployment (tracking, burning, etc.)
- 16:31:07 [Ian]
- 2) Cost of redemption (to merchants)
- 16:31:35 [Ian]
- ....so I think the opportunity is to reach more people (e.g., social media) and also lower the cost of redemption
- 16:31:54 [dezell]
- q?
- 16:32:18 [Ian]
- ack manu
- 16:32:18 [Zakim]
- manu, you wanted to say we're asking them about their biggest problems in the digital offers space, right?
- 16:32:37 [Ian]
- manu: if we want to engage them, we could say "here are the things we think are the most pressing issues today"
- 16:32:46 [Ian]
- ...we would like to hear from you - did we miss something?
- 16:33:07 [Ian]
- ...we are looking for feedback soon -- upcoming meeting, want to integrate (sooner than later) into the emerging payments APIs
- 16:33:22 [ltoth]
- q+
- 16:33:37 [Ian]
- ack ltoth
- 16:34:03 [Ian]
- ltoth: Realistically, looking at the time frame, we are looking at an opportunity to have 2 phone calls
- 16:34:19 [Ian]
- ...I am wondering if rather than scheduling a meeting, should we do a survey instead?
- 16:34:31 [manu]
- +1 to survey, we had very good results w/ Verifible Claims and that approach
- 16:34:33 [dezell]
- q+
- 16:34:34 [Ian]
- q+
- 16:34:48 [manu]
- q+ to +1 a survey - you could look at Verifiable Claims survey as template.
- 16:34:55 [Ian]
- ltoth: So maybe 5-10 mins of time rather than hour of call?
- 16:34:57 [Ian]
- ack dezell
- 16:35:11 [Ian]
- dezell: I still think a call is useful (could be after labor day). I think a survey could be good
- 16:35:35 [Ian]
- ...Ian do you want to take a pass at revising the letter?

- 16:37:59 [Ian]
- IJ: would love a "here's what we think" view around which we have consensus. And use that at a starting point for outreach. I don't think we have it.
- 16:38:10 [Ian]
- Manu: I think we do have that perspective.
- 16:38:27 [Ian]
- ...and use the group to refine

- [IJ thinks we are not there at al]
- 16:38:51 [Ian]
- ...we had success through a survey
- 16:39:09 [Ian]
- ...so I think survey better approach than call
- 16:39:25 [Ian]
- ...people can list some issues that exist today
- 16:39:37 [Ian]
- ...ask people to agree/disagree with the problem statements.

- 16:41:05 [Ian]
- ltoth: I'd be happy to sit with people today to talk about questions for a survey
- 16:41:12 [Ian]
- q?
- 16:41:55 [Ian]
- 1) Write down the problems we want to solve
- 16:42:03 [Ian]
- 2) We ask people (see spreadsheet) if they agree or have other issues
- 16:42:08 [Ian]

- 16:44:42 [Ian]

- 16:44:55 [Ian]
- (IJ: I think the _problem statements_ are the most important...the survey is a means to getting data [in a timely fashion])
- 16:45:23 [Ian]

- 16:45:29 [Ian]

- 16:49:15 [Ian]
- ...+1 to crafting problem statements and those will help foster discussion
- 16:49:32 [Ian]
- dezell: What I would like to do ... take the remainder of this call to look at what came out of charter
- 16:49:41 [Ian]
- ...that material might be useful for problem statements.
- 16:49:55 [Ian]
- ...I suggest that those who can convene at 4pm ET should do so
- 16:50:07 [Ian]
- ...create initial set of problem statements.

- 16:53:21 [Ian]
- ...I think we are going to want to list some things that are out of scope as well...but I have no idea what they would be.
- 16:53:29 [Ian]
- ...e.g., new identification schemes
- 16:54:19 [Ian]
