Weekly update: Eli has started drafting a proposal for this, which he'll then share with Debra who's helping to co-organize.

Weekly update: I've finished drafting an initial version of the proposal, including overview, context and motivation (rationale), objectives, expected outcomes, resource requirements, and proposed activities and structure. The last of these sections is in greatest need of additional input and development. I've shared the proposal with Debra for her input and help further developing it. Next steps will be to iterate and further define in collaboration with Debra, and then share with Leila for review and input.

Weekly update:

• I've completed a draft of all the main work of this task listed above in the description.
• This week I also worked more on better defining the initial proposal for the sessions and proposed themes, detailing each a bit further and identifying related readings we may use.
• Currently the list of themes includes: AI for research synthesis, AI for ideation and early-stage exploration, AI for writing and communication, Ethical experimentation and responsible use (selected topics), AI for knowledge discovery and secondary research, and Best practices for our design research team (a final session focused on defining the best practices that have emerged from the co-learning series).
• I will slow my work on this front now to give @DKumar-WMF time to review and help further develop. Look forward to your ideas, and please boldly suggest edits and improvements, thanks.
• @leila, if we'd like to have a chance to have you review and then possibly make some revisions based on that feedback (and complete this feedback/revision cycle before the end of Q2), what is the latest date by which you'd need it for review? Thanks

Updates:

• I received some input and feedback from Debra, thank you!
• I observe that one area we still need some refinement on is exact reading options for sessions and clarification of what tools we can expect to have available to us.
• At this point I believe the proposal is sufficiently clear and detailed enough to give feedback on. So, while we work on some of these final details, in parallel I will send the proposal over to Leila for review and feedback.
