inclusion to Britta Schnittger (Britta Schnittger or myself) by 17:00CET 7th October. The
final agenda and all pre-reading will be circulated prior to the meeting to those who have

We would like to encourage all members to attend as important business is conducted at
this meeting. We would hope to see as many of you as possible in person but we also offer
