Post Meeting
We had a very successful meeting. We didn’t manage to squeeze everything we hoped for in the original planned meeting, but we covered all the key topics thoroughly, and learned a lot. We agreed to debate key decisions and follow-on actions at the Lasair telecon the following week. Key notes:
During the meeting, George kept some detailed notes.
After the meeting, Roy summarised some key questions
Then Andy added and amended: Andy’s version of key questions
Finally, in the Lasair meeting of Mar 25, we debated the key questions and edited the above wiki page to record conclusions and actions.
