Right. Agreed. No pressure for any change to 109, nor any complaint about how 109 has been determined and planned.

But perhaps let's go into 109 intending to think about whether it works for us and how we might have it different.

If we end up agreeing that this is the best way, then we can push on. If we find it is painful, maybe we will make changes for 110 and (as Stephen sadly notes) beyond.

Possibly, at the time of the survey, the idea that meetings will be wholly or substantially online for some time was not immediately obvious. That could have coloured the survey responses.

Best,
Adrian
