</dd><dd>Robert Guerra<br>
</dd><dd>Echo Sanja’s concerns.<br><br>
</dd><dd>Izumi<br>
</dd><dd>To clarify – with my earlier question on quality -<br>
</dd><dd>I note the concerns of Chris, Sanja and Robert among others, not<br>
</dd><dd>attempt to influence the substantive part of Workshop, etc. We
should<br>
</dd><dd>not judge the values etc. The final decisions should be made by the
WS<br>

</dd><dd>Chengetai<br>
</dd><dd>All of them!<br><br>
</dd><dd>Kieren McCarthy<br>
</dd><dd>It’s number of tracks, not number of workshops, concurrently.<br>
</dd><dd>More than five tracks will be bad.<br><br>
</dd><dd>Avri<br>
</dd><dd>Disagree with Kieren.<br><br>
</dd><dd>Heather Dryden, Canada, retired MAG member<br>
</dd><dd>Do not go into details of workshops.<br><br>
</dd><dd>The Netherlands<br>
</dd><dd>Do not try to reduce the number of workshops.<br><br>
</dd><dd>Mark Carvell, UK gov<br>
</dd><dd>It’s not “conference” – to Kieren’s concern<br>
</dd><dd>It’s forum, dialogue, not quite conference.<br>
</dd><dd>We do have to cut back.<br><br>
<br>
</dd><dd>Bertrand,<br>
</dd><dd>In favor of keeping as many Workshops as possible, provided there
are<br>
</dd><dd>appropriate along the criteria. There are many conflicting
workshops,<br>
</dd><dd>instead of forcing people to merge, identify clusters of
workshops<br>
</dd><dd>dealing with similar topics, insert the round tables, before
plenary<br>
</dd><dd>ideally.<br><br>
</dd><dd>Chair<br>
</dd><dd>We will take all into consideration.<br>
</dd><dd>Invite MAG members, but I want to give floor (to non MAG
