Next F2F is in Feb 17 - 22 in Paris. One week after Barcelona meeting.
Daily working sessions with only 3 hours for TOC. Would like to see more time for TOC added to the agenda.
All these sessions happen in parallel. They are across different working groups. Before we used to invite our delegates from other WGs to join. We also want to reach out to have different WGs meet. Example would be Rittwik attending another working group meeting.
Rittwik only drawback is when TOC is going on you miss the parallel sessions.
