[effect] affectsOnlyThisWorkgroup
We will continue the General Archives Publicity bounty (done by Onyeka) in Q2
[rationale] It has produced a very noticeable rise in the amount of engagement with the Archives according to Google Analytics, so it's worth doing

We will continue the bounty to chase outstanding meeting summaries (done by Ese) in Quarter 2
[rationale] It has been very useful in clarifying which summaries are missing, and has produced good responses when people are chased - February is almost entirely complete

We will continue the bounty to update the Ambassador GitBook (done by Sucre) in Q2
[rationale] It has been useful to keep things up to date; although getting workgroups' quarterly reports hasn't been easy, and not everyone writes one.
[effect] mayAffectOtherPeople
Based on what Sucre has encountered when trying to collect quarterly reports from WGs, the meeting felt that quarterly reports should be if not mandatory, then at least more commonly done; and that the issue should be raised in Treasury Guild.
[rationale] Quarterly reports are a form of accountability for a WG's funding
