+## Storage WG Tasks
+
+1. What is the storage capacity of each individual server now?
+2. Is it possible to show how much bandwidth each server has consumed over the past week or month? If there are no tools installed for this currently, it may be possible to get this information from the server host (ex. Vultr shows the bandwidth use of each server on a daily basis going back a month)
+3. What are the approximate costs of each server, and do the current worker payments cover these?
+
+
+## Curator WG Tasks
+
+1. Hire 2 curator workers during the council session, preferably at least one bilingual curator as we have a lot of Russian language content that has to be reviewed. Make sure the openings for these have clear deadlines as we have a backlog of uncurated videos.
+2. Once hired, post a thread on the forums indicating the language/timezone of the curation team
+3. Update the featured videos twice during the rest of this council session and include links to the featured videos and a basic reasoning.
+4. Post on the forums with a number of how many videos are uncurated. Once this is done, perform as much curation as is possible and provide an update on the status of uncurated videos at the end of the council session.

+## Council Status
+Before we talk about the status of the working groups its important to note also the status of the council and platform in general:
+* The Council has only agreed on a reporting system for the Storage working group, the council hasn't agreed on one for the Curator working group so far.
+* There has been a huge number of new users making communication with the working groups less than ideal
+* We've recently transitioned from Telegram to Discord so communication has not been ideal
+* We've had a significant number of uploads in a short amount of time due to so many new users and there aren't really any processes we've developed so far to deal with this level of activity.
+
+## Storage Working Group Status
+The current status of this working group:
+* The lead is responsive on the forums / chat (although was unresponsive for a bit)
+* The lead had been following the reporting requirements reasonably well
+* All of the storage providers seem to have enough storage capacity to host the content directory as it currently stands (108 GB). I've created a thread to ask about this and point out how to access the size information from https://status.joystream.org/status : https://testnet.joystream.org/#/forum/threads/299
+* The workers are being paid and their storage providers are up
+* There appear to be sufficient workers hired for this role and the maximum allowed for by the budget, no requests have been made to increase this number yet.
+
+## Curator Working Group Status
+The current status of this working group:
+* The lead is responsive on the forums / chat
+* The lead has been having issues with the CLI (it has had to be reinstalled and is taking time to reinstall)
+* The only curator worker has quit
+* There was one worker, however a budget was approved for two workers.
+* There is no clear reporting system in place and since there is no reporting system in place we can't identify how many videos require curation.
+* There is evidently a backlog of videos requiring curation that are affecting new users of the platform. It is unclear how big the backlog of videos is and Atlas shows the last video uploaded as being from 3 days ago.
+* It is unclear what tools (besides just the CLI) are available or need to be created to allow for effective reporting for this role.
