GTA's alternative criteria updates:

• Franco will work on the inputs that have come in and hope to have a draft next week that we can discuss before WSF

Several students from Lund University have indicated interest in carrying out internships with GTA this year from September-December. However Vasna does not have time to manage them so if we move forward with these internships, we need to have other people volunteer to manage the internships.

Franco will take the lead in liaising and managing the interns. Vasna will set up a meeting to introduce the students to Franco and discuss plans.

Next core meeting: Thursday - 19th May 2pm UTC
