Thank you, Chris, Karen, and Alice.

I have a few comments as follow:

It would probably be useful to add to the Scoping Group the co-chairs of the immediately preceding ATR.

With respect to 1. Slate of Topics, I think whether the SO/AC internally requests a rationale from their team is up to them but what they end up with after their deliberations should have a rationale when they bring it to the Scoping Group. Maybe the final two sentences could be reordered to make that clearer.

Question – should we ask the SO/AC leaders to rank their topics for priority?

Cheers,

Hello All,

As discussed yesterday here is a straw-being on the scoping process which we will discuss on our call at 1500 UTC tomorrow. 

It is also available as a google doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w2cSH9jhz74gU_NFbAUSf14qvNubbaWt/edit).

Feel free to ask questions or make comments on the google doc or to this list before our call. Observers input is also welcome.

Tomorrow we will also discuss the second question around setting safeguards for time limiting scoping exercises.

Cheers,

CD
