We will have our next WT3 call this coming Tuesday, Feb 21<sup>st</sup> at 20:00 UTC. The main focus of our time this week will be Confusing Similarity Objections and String Similarity Evaluations as these two topics are quite often intermingled. I have
attached the agenda here for your review.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#003192">However, before we jump into these topics, we will take a few minutes to review what we have so far for our CC2 questions. We are going to need to finalize the WT3 specific questions
so that they may be formally presented to the plenary session of the PDP on 27<sup>th</sup>. To date we have had virtually no input on these questions from the WT3 membership. Robin is taking a final pass over what leadership and staff have pulled together
thus far, but please do take time to review and comment on them this week. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iZBCVEAJPBYEDg7jLsMHKkNczR_b6-jH2Wl5eVH-WWM/edit#heading=h.38j2yb41rjht">
