Thank you for this short topics list :-) two things you and the public list might wish to note Danny:- 1. The Item Agenda planning for Paris meeting including any proposed meetings with other constituencies, has indeed been added Item 5 under New Business (the original Agenda had been prepared before any discussion between the Chairs of ALAC and other constituencies regarding possible meetings- so it would have been preemptive to add it earlier) 2. The Chairs of each group who may meet will be setting the Agenda for anything that occurs, and as the meetings will be tightly timed and no doubt fairly short, (if we can get room availability and scheduling sorted out) so we will be limiting the topics to a manageable few. To this end I trust that your RALO's ALAC representatives will bring to our meeting on the 8th, some sense of priority from your list from your regions perspective, to be discussed and compared to those ideas from the other RALO's for discussion and possible inclusion in any future Agenda Planning Meeting I attend.
