[ga] Revised Agenda proposal

[Dennis Jennings <Dennis.Jennings@ucd.ie>]

Dear General Assembly Members,

I would like to propose an slightly revised outline agenda for the Santiago DNSO General Assembly meeting.  (My thanks to Jean-Michel for kicking this discussion off).

Please note that I believe that at least a full day is requried for the DNSO GA (and therefore the DNSO Constituency meetings should be held the previous day (the Monday)), as (in my opinion) anything less than a day makes a mockery of the attempt at a General Assembly.

What I propose below is an outline - if there is any positive feedback to this I will provide a more detailed agenda for discussion.

I look forward to your comments.

Dennis

P.S.  Please feel free to broadcast this e-mail message widely as the DNSO GA list has barely two hundred members and is therefore quite unrepresentative at this time.
