I will discuss with Grace off-list, and also discuss with the
Secretariat, to see what our options are (eg. can we have two
speakers in the opening, and when would we each prefer to speak).
The caucus can then make an informed decision.<br>

Grace prefers to speak at the opening, and whilst she would also
have been happy with a "tag team" approach, Chengatai has just
confirmed to me that we can only have one speaker at the opening.
So it seems to me that we have a rough consensus that Grace will
speak, but she has indicated that she is happy for us to provide
input into what she should say. So we'll set up a separate thread
for that.<br>
<br>
For the closing, Izumi and I will discuss what to say and who will
say it, reacting to developments during the course of the meeting,
and endeavour to post our notes back to the list ahead of the
closing ceremony.<br>
