It'd be good to talk about the options for moving forward on Constituency Day, Tuesday 9 April 9-12:30 Beijing time. Any chance you could join us remotely if you're not coming for show and tell + discussion with the assembled? We'd have to figure out how to get them uploaded in Adobe Connect but I'm sure someone here knows how to do that…</div><div><br></div><div>As for the photos,<br>
