Re: One topic for discussion this Wednesday -- technical meeting(s) on de-identification

The goal of these meetings is to better prepare inputs for the full group's face-to-face in February.  Think of them as a somewhat extended version of the small break-out groups we had during various face-to-face meetings.

Results will be discussed and reviewed by the whole group, and (as a matter of process) no WG decisions can be made in preparatory meetings like these.
