6	2019-11-15 00:00:00	ALL	"Blue Team" workshop, Washington DC 15-16 Nov 2019
7	2019-12-05 00:00:00	SJT	copied all wall post-its into spreadsheet
8	2019-12-06 00:00:00	SJT	Took copy for cleaning
9	2019-12-06 00:00:00	SJT	Put notes here if you spot something unusual or do something you want crosschecking
10	2019-12-06 00:00:00	SJT	First task: look for the techniques for each row in the spreadsheet, and add them to the "techniques" column. A list of Technique numbers is best; if it applies to all techniques in a tactic, put the tactic number; if it applies to all techniques, put “all”.
11	2019-12-21 00:00:00	Eric D.	I am unsure to what extent content dissemination is included in the "Develop" phases or Channel Selection, compared to belonging more or less solely within Pump Priming, Exposure, Go Physical and Persistence.
12	2020-01-07 00:00:00	SJT	Content dissemination is generally right of boom, but might be needed as part of eg. creating convincing sockpuppets or groups in a channel
13	2020-01-10 00:00:00	SJT	New copy of spreadsheet. Going to put all counters in here, as a playbook
14	2020-01-12 00:00:00	SJT	Included post-it notes from 2019-11 workshop. Included incident-counters from 2019-11 preparation worksheet. Included general-counters from 2019-11 preparation worksheet. Added References worksheet, to hold URLs to references (excel only allows 1 URL per cell, which wipes data if we're not careful)
15	2020-01-13 00:00:00	SJT	Included counters and playbooks from teams 1,2,3,4,D
16	2020-01-14 00:00:00	SJT	Took copy of spreadsheet, so we have a snapshot of all the inputs into it. Now it's time to get cleaning!
17	2020-01-20 00:00:00	SJT	Started the cleanup. First, gave every counter an id.
18	2020-01-31 00:00:00	SJT	Split output report into two: "finding ways to counter disinformation campaigns" and "Disinformation counters" so we can publish the first part faster
19	2020-02-10 00:00:00	Roger J.	Add "Measure of Effectiveness" and "Measure of Performance" sheet. This is a requirement for effective data pollution where the objective is to degrade the adversary's ability to measure their affect.
20	2020-05-14 00:00:00	SJT	Clean up tactic and response names in countermeasures sheet, so they don’t mess up the generators

25	Date	Suggested by	Suggested Task	Comments
26		SJT	Add links to references with each counter in, to the rows for those counters. Add each document to the REFERENCES tab, and its [ref] to the column "References" in the Countermeasures sheet.
27		SJT	Check through spreadsheet for duplicate counters, and counters at the wrong level of details (e.g. work out what should be at the counter level, and what should be at the playbook level). Clean up accordingly.
28		SJT	Create code similar to the DISARM github code, that creates: a page for each technique, listing the counters relevant to that technique; a page for each tactic, listing the counters relevant to that tactic, by response type then alphabetically; a COA grid with the number of responses for each tactic/response combination	done
29		SJT	Create a chapter in the summary document for each tactic, describing the types of counter relevant at that tactic stage.	Done
30		SJT	Write a document chapter on viewing disinformation as an ecosystem and potential solution space to be explored.
31	2021-07-17 00:00:00	SJT	Look at SG note for wording, counters we haven't listed https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-misinformation-advisory.pdf
