We had a rich discussion about the possible ways forward for Bestbits,
building on the previous conversation in December and the discussion on
this thread since.</div><div><br>
</div><div>In essence, there was general agreement that both Bestbits and IGC
have been facing challenges in fulfilling their objectives,
particularly when it comes to coordination and we agreed to circulate a survey to both lists to gather
perspectives on four suggested ways forward which were discussed on the call. It was suggested that this
survey with the broader communities feed into a decision on the future
of the platforms. The survey will be circulated shortly to both lists
shortly, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div>Sheetal. </div>
