[7th_wgig_chairs_mtg] a bit of self-reflection

28 May 2017

Dear all,
The first session in Göteborg is called “From Göteborg to Göteborg” which led me to a bit of self-reflection after 4 years of hard work.
As said in the attached document, I think that we have done a great job – at least I am surprised about the results remembering the many questions at our first meetings such as in Copenhagen where we had even different acronyms such as DAITF and GWF, finding out, however, that we are talking about the same not well-described “beast”.
To stimulate thinking about this session I wrote a few points which kept me busy during the last weeks which in no ways should give the impression that I am unsatisfied with RDA – it is just about: how to go on in future? I am sure that others will not agree with my points and have probably completely different ones. I would be happy if others would also write down some points of concern and distribute them before the meeting. However, we should NOT start with the discussion about these points via email, but leave this to our session. I assume that some of the participants participate in council’s sub-committees and could report about their state and plans.
best
Peter

    Peter,
    would you have any objection to my sharing this document with TAB? I
    mentioned it on the call just now when providing an update on the meeting
    last week.
    Let me know.
    Andrew.
