Re: Data Portability Report draft

Welcome to the group, Lisa! We will be discussing data portability and what we can do to advance portability and storage in the call on September 22nd.

The meeting will be held on Jitsi, a video conferencing platform. The meeting URL is https://meet.jit.si/social-web-cg. I should have announced this in the initial invitation email.

Thanks,
James
