+1, actually it would be nice if some information for this topic would
already be available (probably only in rough draft format) for the Sunday
get-together.

Alternatively, a set of pointers to relevant information or documents.

My thinking is that our face to face meetings, however, should focus on fine tuning rough brushstroke proposals and advance contentious and problematic areas as well as provide expert presentations to assist us to reach consensus.  I would like to also suggest that we invite someone from the rights-holder constituency to bring their concerns to the table.  With respect to format, I think it would be best if we start all of our face to face meetings with administrative issues first and then dive in to the presentations for half a day and then commence the substantive work for the remaining 1.5 days.  

"rights-holder" to be understood as trademark owners?

OK for me.

Would it be possible for those who have been put forward by different SO/ACs to accompany the Chair/Vice Chair to those meetings and help lead the discussions?
