> Dear Colleagues,

> Over the last 10 days, several threads took place discussing member or
> delegate options, including very relevant insights and ideas. At the same
> time, our Work Parties 1 & 2 are just getting formed, so I felt we were
> running the risk of not making the most of these discussions.
>
> I have created a wiki page in an attemps to sum up, in terms of
> requirements, the ideas that were exchanged in these threads, and that
> should form an input to WP1 & WP2. I have probably missed some of the ideas
> exchanged, and maybe was not able to capture some of these right.
>
> But I would suggest we try to elaborate on this, and then hand this on to
> the WPs. Please feel free to add & comment.
