[bestbits] Quick update on WGEC meeting day 1

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Apologies I meant para 35 of the Tunis Agenda, not 32.

As for other documents, there are multiple versions of the text in progress.

- recommendations agreed and to be revisted
- opinions and statements
- recommendations not yet accepted at 3rd meeting
- recommendations not yet reviewed

there is a google drive doc of the current state. but I can't find the
url for that this morning.
