Captured thoughts during the conversation "Here is where we are. There is where we're going. We're not going to re-write the architecture. This is what we're going to do for Mercury." "How we're going to build it. Not what we're going to build" "If we can't agree on architecture by mid-April, we won't have a blockchain in Dec."
Public days Host 2-3 tracks Need to solicit speakers DECISION we will release a speaker RFP this Wed Kelly and Nash to create RFP for Cody to distribute
