Considering the draft agenda with Kathy, it also seems fair to invite a speaker from the US Government (the other signatory to the AoC) to present their views too.</div><div><br></div><div>I understand that both Rod Beckstrom and Larry Strickling (USG) will be in Cartagena, and there is a possibility that they could be available to join us.</div><div><br></div><div>My specific question is this:</div><div><br></div><div>Given that many of us will be participating remotely, including me, are there any objections to having these speakers join us at a meeting at which we are not all physically present?</div><div><br></div><div>Alice is starting her journey tomorrow, and it would be helpful if I could have any urgent objections or other comments in the next 24 hours.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, and safe travels!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Emily</div><div><div>
