AI summary of discussion:

They recognized the current system's problematic nature, where developers could create profiles that could confuse others about rights management and permissions. The team agreed on the need for a more structured and rule-based system, but no specific next steps were decided. Aaron expressed concern about the current system's design, which allows anyone to claim any identity and put their logo, contradicting their pitch to investors about a product with verified information about users. Aaron emphasized the need for implementing features such as verified checks and legal checks before launching the product.

Website Trust and Verification
The team discussed the issue of trust and verification related to their website's partner list. Cory voiced concerns about the lack of trust viewers might have, suggesting the addition of a self-attestation feature for project admins to verify their partners. Aaron proposed organizing the partners into a gallery with optional tooltips for clarity. The team also discussed the functionality of their application's profiles feature. Cory suggested distinguishing between region-linked and website-linked profiles, while Aaron suggested a verification process. Erika agreed that a verification system could be beneficial. The team agreed to explore these ideas further and coordinate design tasks accordingly.

Task Prioritization and New Feature Launch
Erika and Cory discussed the creation of a small epic for a new task and the prioritization of tasks in their backlog. They identified a bug and decided to add the partners role to their project. The launch of a new feature, which involves profile creation and search functionality, was discussed, with Cory proposing to limit users to choose their own profiles. The team confirmed the launch of the feature but agreed on further considerations and potential changes. They also discussed the issue of region addresses, deciding to make the form more user-friendly for the launch and reassess the region addresses feature later. Erika committed to creating tasks related to this issue, prioritizing the improvement of the form and deferring other tasks until necessary.
