I suggest something like the following. (I guess there will be a
feedback loop between (2) and (3)!)

Comments/amendments/additions welcome, either here or in the meeting
next week.

Also if anyone wants to volunteer to "lead"/"facilitate"/"own" any
particular work item, let me know!

Cheers

Pete

=======================================
Use DC CD AP to describe range of collections.
N.B. This doesn't have to wait until all the final decisions are made
