## Summary <!--Brief description of the task.--> Set up a structured partner contact list so that Initiative communications reach the right people inside each partner organization. Today, each partner has effectively one contact, which means topic-specific outreach (e.g., event sponsorship, technical maintainership calls) regularly fails to reach the relevant person — for example, the Drupal AI Summit London sponsorship ask reached a technical contact rather than the CMO who would have wanted to participate. Partners will be able to nominate multiple contacts, tagged by topic, with one designated primary contact per partner who receives all communications and owns list freshness. ## Work Track <!--AI Core / AI Products / AI Marketing / AI UX / Cross-track--> Cross-track (governance / partner operations) ## Context / Background <!--Why does this task exist? Link to a parent meta-issue or initiative docs.--> Extending the existing partner tracking spreadsheet is intentionally lightweight for the current scope; can migrate to a CRM later if the partner program grows or governance gets more formal. ## Tasks The following tasks are suggestions, and have to be refined by the program manager. - [ ] Add a **Contacts** tab to the existing **Drupal AI Makers Sponsorship** sheet, one row per contact, with columns: - `Partner Org` (validated against `MakerCompanies`), `Name`, `Email`, `Role / Title` - `Primary` (Y/N) - `Topics` (multi-select): Partner Meetings, Event Sponsoring, Case Studies, AI Module Maintainership, Trainings, Demos - `Notes`, `Last Confirmed`, `Status` - [ ] Decide what to do with the existing `Main Contacts` column in `MakerCompanies` (deprecate, or replace with a formula pulling primaries from the new tab) - [ ] Announce the model at the next partner meeting and collect contacts from all partners - [ ] Use the `Contacts` tab as the source of truth for future outreach ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Our partner sheet contains many contacts per partner grouped by topics and a clearly marked main contact - [ ] The communication channels have been updated (for example email list) - [ ] All AI Initiative partners have been informed and have assigned contacts for different topics ## AI Usage - [x] AI Assisted Issue — This issue was generated with AI assistance, but was reviewed and refined by the creator.
