Given that the pc last met on tuesday at lunch, I think the minutes when 
released will prove to be a poor source the sort information you're 
looking for.

What you liked, didn't like or would like to see on the program on the 
future would be highly appreciated. I gather you like to peering bof. 
What would you do to take to to the next level? Failing that, are their 
related communities of interest that need similar attention?
