| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- [Special Interest Groups](https://tac.openwallet.foundation/SIGs/): Key Discussion Points on the current state of SIGs, challenges faced by existing SIGs etc. |
| 53 | + - Current Challenges with SIGs |
| 54 | + - Low participation & unclear structure: Attendance is an issue, and newcomers struggle to navigate SIGs. Outsiders invited to discussions often don’t find an active audience. |
| 55 | + - Disconnect from active projects: SIGs need to better align with the needs of developers and architects to ensure their work is seen as relevant and valuable. |
| 56 | + - Need for a clear role: SIGs should be a **safe space** for informal problem-solving, distinct from the more formal TAC. |
| 57 | + - Proposed Improvements |
| 58 | + 1. Better Structure & Navigation |
| 59 | + - Create a **SIG matrix diagram** to clarify focus areas and interconnections. |
| 60 | + - Improve communication channels (e.g., sub-threads in Architecture SIG). |
| 61 | + 2. Collaboration Between SIGs |
| 62 | + - Organize **joint events** between Iteration and Architecture SIGs. |
| 63 | + - Encourage **projects to bring architectural challenges** to SIGs. |
| 64 | + 3. Increase Visibility & Accessibility |
| 65 | + - Promote SIG activities on the **OWF website** and public channels to attract broader audiences. |
| 66 | + 4. Frequent & Well-Promoted Events |
| 67 | + - **Host events every 2-3 weeks**, promote SIG speakers, and position SIGs as valuable discussion spaces. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +- TAC Website - Improve the UX |
| 70 | + - Discussion on improving website UX & calls to action by adding clear action buttons on the TAC website for key processes, including: |
| 71 | + - Proposing a new project. |
| 72 | + - Proposing a new special interest group (SIG). |
| 73 | + - Filing an annual review. |
| 74 | + - Requesting a project stage update. |
| 75 | + - Consider adding similar guidance on the Open Wallet Foundation main website to ensure consistency and ease of navigation. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +- Open discussion and next steps |
