Re: Teleconference Today

I think so too Olle
Its nice to talk but 'verba volant', its difficult to achieve conclusions on
the phone
To have a TOC would help us focus better on what we are agreeing now
I expect we may even 'disagree' , and a lot of discussion may become
necessary and time consuming
why dont you put together an outline of what you think our TOC could
include, then we can discuss it? (I take your post as an offer to volunteer)
