For the open working sessions, we plan/suggest (based on the suggestion of Fiona Skerman) group contact moments once in the morning, once in the early afternoon, and optionally if needed once in the evening to coordinate across the Atlantic.
To preserve the interactive nature of the meeting, no talks are to be recorded and we encourage attendees to keep their cameras on.
Zoom links will be posted here in due course.
