<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks, Steve, for putting this into our BC format, and for your edits and improvements. And thanks to the commentaries from the BC on my original draft version and all BC members.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Finally, best wishes to the team attending the Intercessional on behalf of the BC. I was on a couple of hours of the calls yesterday, as I could, around other work.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Today, I will be in transit via air to return to Washington, DC, so will probably miss all but the last 2-3 hours. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">It is much appreciated that Barbara, as CSG, worked with others on the organizing to make the meeting so effectively organized and substantive, and also to ensure the transcription and remote participation. I saw great
attendance via remote participation in the slots I was able to join yesterday.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">For those traveling shortly, I wish uneventful travel!</p>
