TitleREFEDS Webinars + The REFEDS Bar
Description

Set up a monthly / bimonthly set of webinars for REFEDS to help communicate work on core topics (possibly 6 topics, 12 webinars, 2 different timezones per webinar?).  This will help address the communication elements identified in the strategy.  Support with a blogpost.

Support with more social / chat sessions in the evenings for people to talk about their issues.

TitleBest Practices for Integrating with Microsoft Azure
Description

Many federation operators have reported challenges with integrating with Microsoft Azure platforms. This group would establish a community of individuals specifically interested in supporting each other with these integrations and would document best practices as they are developed.

ETA: start with organizing a community of interest, possibly target this as part of the webinar series
