Messaging:

Messaging planning deck from @speedwyre
Planning interviews with target audience
Workstream for creating messaging
Need to target awareness of OVP Compliance Tests – @speedwyre will ask Rick about it and send Nick update
From the governance call:
- Marketing discussion; need to get idea of what CNTT messaging needs to be to business decision makers who are ultimately deciding on adoption.
  - e.g. Starts with Technical arm, moves way up to VP
  - VP typically will sponsor business case
  - VP typically will want to want to know benefits, set of data point to say why beneficial to company
  - ...typically will also go to Financial approval arm of company
  - Marketing would like to interview business leads to get a sense of what they are thinking.
  - @Mark Cottrell recommendations
    - AI - ask members to host the call with the business decision maker with Marketing workstream. This is major ask.
    - AI - could also ask members to collect feedback if unable to get an interview.
@speedwyre to take a run at a list of questions for BDMs, with help from @Bob Monkman (Deactivated)
