OS and convergence / Action Planning all the time

[Marei Kiele]

A bit late, I know, but it took me a month to catch up with all this wonderful stuff on the list I collected within two weeks off-line around easter.

Chris, would you please say a bit more about the forms you hand out. What are you doing with them when filled out? Are the answers going to be published? And how?

Thank you,
Marei
