Dear All, As mentioned by Michael, the staff support team has put together a set of background briefings to assist the team in familiarizing itself with the different assignments as well as the materials available to help inform the deliberations on these assignments. These briefings are also expected to kick start conversations intended to help inform the development of a detailed workplan. See: * Assignment #1 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/16mFQkzM4tTj84736J-tlZ8T7tFeiFwfx/edit * Assignment #2 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OyzzAjZgvNkfZ5EekUvJ7PQg80vNZvJ3/edit * Assignment #3 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NiwMk6qHOQRn7VdcW0Paj5OoC3tWAQpm/edit * Assignment #4 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z8t-uH4gRqXytHOGnIkZ2qMSJctgR_kD/edit Please note that each of these background briefings identifies a number of questions we are hoping to get your input on (see orange boxes). Please review these background briefings in advance of the first meeting.
