First of three talks on work of Hain-Matsumoto.

In this talk, I will introduce the Hain-Matsumoto weighted completion of Galois groups as a Tannakian fundamental group of the category of weighted modules over the Galois group. I will collect this and other critical tools used in their proof of the Deligne-Ihara conjecture.
