Day 1

Preliminary Agenda: Past experience has revealed that the agenda for this meeting tends to be very fluid with respect to timing and sometimes the order of events.  In addition, the nature of remote meetings and possible technology issues may require additional flexibility.  If changes are necessary, the Chairs will attempt to update attendees as soon as possible each day.
