On a somewhat different note, can we confirm that the Thursday meeting will be open also to interested members of each SG who may not themselves be members of the STI? As I recall, the initial volunteers for the STI review team agreed over the weekend that a leaner review team would be more effective, but that the team would be expected to consult with and solicit input from their SG. Since there were overall more volunteers than capacity allowed, I think it'd be useful to take advantage of their presence here in Seoul.

Good question Mary. It has been our practice for quite awhile to have WG meetings open at live meetings so I see no reason to change that in the case of the STI but I think we may need to apply a "silent observer" role because of the very short time frame that the Review Group has. There was a lot of concern expressed in the DT on Saturday that the Review Group needed to be kept as small as possible to maximize efficiency. One of the tasks the group will need to do is to elect a chair and possibly a vice chair or cochairs. This may need to be the first item of business. I am not going to be representing the RySG on the Review Group but if I can help facilitate the start, I am more than willing to do so.
