Maybe we might have time as a group to see if anyone has any requests for more information when we have the first OrgaMeeting on Thursday at 16:00. That way, they would have some time to update their materials by the time of the final OrgaMeeting on the last day. Based on past experience, I think it's best to come as close as possible to a decision about 2021 before the 2019 meeting is over. If we can do this, then at LGM 2020, we would only need to discuss where LGM 2022 would be.<br>
