[DDI-CDG] Telephone conference and IASSIST

[Oliver Watteler]

Dear all!

I just wanted to get out three questions to you before I'm off for a 
long week-end (public holiday in Germany tomorrow):
a) If it's o.k. with you I would like to organize a telephone conference 
on May 17th to discuss open questions and prepare our Working Group 
Meeting at IASSIST.
b) What do you think about the schedule that Mary has send around? Do 
you think it's feasible or do we need more time? I personally think we 
should spend less time for presentations and outlines (e.g. on Sunday 
morning) than for actual work.
c) We should be thinking about at least three things which should be 
done before Edinburgh:
1. set up an agenda,
2. prepare the list of scenarios for the Structural Reform Group, and
2. come up with a list of topics which have to be included in DDI 3 in 
order to document what we want.

The list under 3 should be a short topic list, which can be filled with 
the details we are currently working on and which serves as a guideline 
for discussion. This is in my eyes important, because there will 
obviously be some experts present in Scotland, who do not participate in 
any Working Group and who might need those topics in advance to see 
which ground we are covering. I wouldn't like to get into details again, 
that we have already dicarded as not important for the development of 
version 3.

Greetings from Cologne,
yours Oliver.
