Hi Richard, all,
I agree, I think coordinating the central hub / efforts in a call makes
sense.
I will be traveling for most of this and the coming week. Am available in
the week of 4 November with more flexibility for an online call. (Although
I'm not entirely sure if it is useful for me to join such a call. Happy to
help though)
Who will get the ball rolling for this call? Who should be there?
best,
Ton
