Re: Second EOF meeting

It is my understanding from the previous EOF meeting at
Schiphol that the reason for the 15 July meeting is to 
focus on technical issues.  Specifically, to permit us react 
to the "post-June 30 shock".  I have seen nothing on the 
agenda noting this directly (although it may be here indirectly,
it should at least be a bit more apparent).

I also understood that policy (non-technical) issues would not 
be discussed until later this year, probably at a meeting around 
September time.  Most policy-oriented people will not be attending 
this meeting, so any discussion would have to be informal at most.

The agenda seems to have quite a few policy issues, including
at least, the charter.  Since this was to be a technical 
meeting, I will not be there.   Point #7, Ebone Charter, should
not be discussed until the next meeting, as was earlier agreed.
