Presentations should be kept to 20minutes in duration, excluding time for questions and answers.  Requests for presentation time greater than 20 minutes will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the requestor should contact the chair prior to making the request to justify the additional time.  Please note that as this is our SG’s first meeting I will be prioritizing process-related level setting presentations.

 

Furthermore, I encourage individuals to use the Study Group reflector to reach out to others in the spirit of consensus building.  As acting chair, I will reserve the right to introduce individuals making similar topic requests in the continuing spirit of this encouragement.

As a reminder to the group, we are a contribution driven organization.   It should not be assumed by anyone that work will just get done without contributions to drive it.  Areas not moving forward will be brought to the attention of the Study Group for consideration on how to address.  . 

 

I look forward to seeing everyone in Victoria!

 

Best Regards,
