I have listed everything I have been informed about. I was
asked for half a day devoted entirely to the RM and that is
what I put in the agenda.

However, I think there is room for a breakout for more technical
work on the RM. I would suggest it take place in parallel with
the TMQL discussion.

I also agree that 4 days, in general, is too much. But it is the
lesser evil this time around. The circus in Baltimore was in no
way due to the fact that we had 4 days of meetings, but rather
the attempt to move things forward *beyond* those 4 days.

Michel, look at the agenda. There *is* a "plenary" at the start
of the Friday - it's a general session:

All I'm saying is that we also need to set aside time for agreeing
on the recommendations that will be put before SC34. So tell me, what
is your preference? (A) or (B)?
