Hello all,<br>
<br>
Already, 14 people have responded to the poll in which we are
seeking input about fine-tuning the agenda and output of Best Bits.
If you haven't responded here is the link again:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.igcaucus.org/limesurvey/index.php?sid=36451&newtest=Y&lang=en">http://www.igcaucus.org/limesurvey/index.php?sid=36451&newtest=Y&lang=en</a><br>
<br>
Without wanting to give too many "spoilers", there is already a very
clear consensus emerging about whether to aim for two output
documents, as originally proposed, or to reduce this to one. So if
you have a strong opinion on this and haven't already voiced it in
the poll or on the list, now is the time.<br>
<br>
As for the agenda, there is also an overall preference emerging, but
the results are less stark - some people wish to see changes, others
don't. So it would be good to get a few more opinions before
drawing conclusions about that question.<br>
<br>
Finally, we have been able to release a little more of our limited
funding to support accommodation or travel assistance for five
additional participants. They will be contacted off-list.
Apologies if you still haven't been offered support.<br>
<br>
For those who have asked for their flight and accommodation to be
covered, it would be helpful for us to know whether offering
accommodation only would be useful. If you are in this position,
and haven't yet been offered any support, please reply off-list to
indicate whether the availability of accommodation for the days of
the Best Bits meeting would make a difference to your attendance.<br>
