Budget Update and Strategic Planning: Effiom reported that the Strategy Guild's budget has been cut by 50%, leaving them with $400 for the upcoming quarter.

Workshop Update and Feedback: Kateri shared insights from the workshop, highlighting that ten participants contributed to discussions about challenges faced by their work groups. Key issues included insufficient budgets and the irregular scheduling of meetings, which made it difficult for members to stay engaged. Suggestions for improvement focused on increasing collaboration among work groups, although many suggestions were beyond their control (insufficient decision). Research: Ayo gave update on behave of Clement, he noted that the research is progressing and currently we are in the stage where the research survey is being distributed to specific teams. The collaboration involves several circles, including data analytics, operation, dev outreach, review and IT, which enhances the research's scope. Deep funding wants to make sure that this research remains an ongoing research and Ayo ensure the workgroup that before mid-October it should have been conducted. Budget and Performance Review: Effiom discussed the quarterly reports, noting eight thumbs up and one downward vote regarding the guild's performance.
