Re: For EOWG Review -- Re: Translations status & upcoming work

It sounds to me as though Denis expects to take all the time tomorrow but
that is likely to depend on attendance and interest.  I am in favor of
adding the translations as a possible agenda item -"if time permits/if
ready" and use the survey/W4TW as fallback.

Can you do that?  Thanks Shawn,

Best,
Sharron
