<p dir="ltr">So this does not generate another long thread and so that things are not logged out of context. I was at the last meeting (though audio only), I did not observe any "people painting" but i heard people repeating their points as much as possible while the co-chairs tried as much as possible to maintain focus of the discussion to maximise time.</p>
