Hi Steve,
Thanks for those introducing those topics. I've added them to our list of
topics and made note of Chris, David, and Roy's comments.
I will get our list of possible agenda topics and a rough schedule up on
the meeting page [1] today or tomorrow that we will update as the agenda
solidifies.
Cheers,
Ethan
