I wonder if we could add an agenda item or two:
- high level agenda or programme for our f2f meeting in Istanbul
- high level discussion of the shape of our proposal for community consultation
The reason I think these should be on the agenda for this meeting is that it marks about 20 days until our meeting face to face, and I think we need to be clear soon what we are doing there, so that we can all (and the Working Parties especially) can make sure we deliver the outputs at the right time and in the right shape to:
a) help the face to face be as successful as possible, and
b) easily turn into the proposal we will consult with the community about
I don't mind if the answer in both cases is, "we don't know yet" - in that case we can simply agree as a group how to have an answer by next week. But next week is the absolute last point I think we need to have answers to these things...
Hope this helps, and if these matters are already answered in other mails I have missed, my humble apologies!
cheers
