</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The approach, which  entails some options, is the following:</span>

<br>

<b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">2)</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">  it should be possible to run a light version of the face-to-face Technical Meetings, by letting each Area/WG organise
 their remote work, with some flexibility.</span> <br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The following options shall be considered:</span>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It is acknowledged, that some WGs may decide not to hold any remote session - due to e.g. too different time zones of the participants .</span>
