We can choose a less adversarial term than "battle".  How about "harmonization"?

Either way, I think the comparison and working through of the issues in the two models was the elephant and the 800 lb. gorilla in the room.  Indeed, I think it was the 800 lb. gorilla riding an elephant around the perimeter of the room for 2 straight days....  And the gorilla is riding the elephant still.

As far as agenda suggestions go, I suggest we deal with the contrasting and attempted harmonization of the models, and with getting (in explicit and concrete terms) the concerns that the Board has with the Member, and determining whether they can be resolved.  Some may be a result of misunderstandings, some may be capable of dialogue (if you don't want to call it negotiation) and solution, and some (but hopefully none) may be insoluble (and even the insoluble ones can almost certainly be minimized).

I expected this, and review of the comments, to be the prime subjects of the F2F.  Since they weren't we now need to deal with them.
