I believe that this may be the same list that the GAO have used to frame
their discussions with other stakeholders (CDT has met with them).
The "meeting" will be a discussion. The questions are for guidance.
I concur with Greg - care and thoughtfulness should guide the discussion.
I have full confidence that our Chairs will give a balanced and factual
representation of the discussions that we have been engaged in to date.
