Some edits (showing comments etc.,) have been made to both of the review and discussion documents proffered by Manal and Fabio. To ensure all tools we're using are in sync, I've inserted below for list archive (and individual action where needed) a text copy of the current state of each collaboration document as at 2000 UTC 15th April 2010.<div>

Re the MdR meeting if we can concentrate staff presentations in the beginning half+ of the first day (where we can act more like a panel {a good getting to know each other exercise any way} while Janis is absent then move onto the substantiative discussion and Agenda issues after that (including the admin issues) this might be the best use of the short time we actually have there... I also assume we could convene in after dinner sessions as well even if that is at the accommodation venue. </font></font></font></p>

However I do believe that some of the AC & SO's will have already accumulated some of this material OR (as is the case with the ALAC who has set up 'commons wiki space' for public at-large and ALS/RALO specific At-Large input into the AT-review process) we can access primary (and secondary) source information to complement and validate this proposed approach to 'data collection'... The pursuit of the more complex collection of empirical data methodologies should stay on our to look at agenda and may perhaps be a foundation of some further recommendations of useful metrics for intersession activity between the current and next AT-review process.</font></font></span></font></font></p>
