Hiya,

Thanks to the chairs for allocating some agenda time for
discussion of this topic at tomorrow's session. I plan to
more or less present [1] instead of using slides, so if
folks have a chance to read it over before we get to that
agenda item tomorrow that should help speed things up a
bit.

I'm still happy to take corrections, comments and suggestions
however folks would like to provide those but plan to be at
the social event tonight so likely won't do more updates to
the text before tomorrow morning (semi-inebriated additions
being a bad plan, even if nowhere near as bad a plan as
draft-green:-)

Cheers,
S.
