This month's Best Bits steering committee took place yesterday. Due
to Skype connection problems (like many committees, we are still
searching for the ideal conferencing solution) we were not able to
have a proper meeting, so there are no resolutions to report.
However the committee did work on the agenda for the meeting in
Istanbul, which currently is as shown below. The outline is based
on the results of the poll that was sent around earlier in the
month.<br>
<br>
Your input is welcomed. In particular anyone is welcome to put
their names forward to help moderate a session for the meeting,
especially those that don't have a name listed next to them already
(but even those that do). All are also welcome to begin thinking
about sessions they might wish to present for 10 minutes during the
"Policy slam" session before lunch.<br>
