All that makes sense to me.

But it leaves out what item that we discussed at the last call.  I 
thought you were going to assemble the major European players at TPAC 
(since it is in Lisbon, so they will be there already) and use that 
meeting to assess the common understanding of the need for DNT.  Your 
comment above ("I may visit TPAC") sounds like the idea of a major 
discussion in TPAC has been dropped.  Do I understand correctly?
