[bestbits] list of important questions to be delivered to LOC before 27th meeting

[Marianne Franklin]

Dear Joana

Thanks for this. The list covers as far as I can see the main concerns.

I hope that there will be clear answers to them forthcoming. If not, 
then perhaps we need to consider next steps as there is little time left 
to spend waiting for these answers.

That is a pessimist view. For now I will opt for the optimist one and 
support the suggestion Joana makes below that all reps on all committee 
pose the same questions.

keep up the good work!
