To vote or not to vote... in VIP • made a list of proposals that should definitely stay in GMs • gathered ideas of topics that should be discussed and voted in VIP • discussed many other suggestions for improving the virtual plenary working procedures and the on-line voting system Diana
To vote or not to vote... in VIP • Follow up: • some of the ideas need more input and opinions (e.g. from board or CMTs) • the detailed outcomes of this DG will be probably discussed in the virtual plenary, because they need feedback from all LBGs Diana
