Dear all, the agenda for the WG1 meeting on Capacity development (Addressing the lack of trained professional to reach the post-2015 agenda) can now be downloaded here: forum.susana.org/forum/categories/54-wg-...ust-1330-1530h#14596

Chrs, Dorothee

Dear all,
For anyone with an OK internet connection and a little bit of spare time this Saturday: please put it in your agenda to attend online at least a part of the SuSanA meeting via the live streaming!

I did it last year and it was a real pleasure. I didn't manage the whole Saturday but some hours of it. If needed, you can also multi-task, i.e. watch the meeting and also have lunch with your kids etc.
Questions and comments can be posed on twitter with the hashtag #20susana.
Whilst the meeting will also be recorded, there is a special "something" about attending it live - it is much more fun than merely watching the recording later.

Dear secretariat,
Please advertise the live stream link as soon as possible and generally advertise the option of attendance via the live streaming on all SuSanA channels (twitter, facebook, forum - perhaps even an e-mail going out to all members? Or e-mail to the working group with the biggest mailing list?). It is easy to miss as it's on a Saturday... (and I guess many people won't have access if they only have access to broadband internet from their work computers; that's a disadvantage for having the SuSanA meeting on a Saturday).

Please also make sure that people are aware of the camera, that they look into the camera from time to time and that they acknowledge the "internet audience" (also by re-iterating the names of the persons speaking; e.g. for people who tune in later) - I hope there will be a few of us "virtual participants"! I firmly believe this is the way of the future to cut down on CO2 emissions and travel costs. See here about a previous thread regarding air travel to conferences:

Thank you secretariat

I would find it useful to have the information on the different Working group meetings (date, time, venue) also on this agenda for ease of organization and prevent confusions.... would that be possible?

Cheers, Dorothee
