Seeing as there will be some discussion anyway, I'll try to write up
something to explain the current state of things and what we were
hoping to achieve next. If there's a possibility of me participating
by phone, and a slot before 3pm, I'd certainly like to join the
discussion.

My intention is more to set realistic expectations than plan future
work, as our resources are rather constrained, and people who would
need to be part of actual planning won't be there.
