there will be concrete recommendations. My suggestion is that once you
compile the issues that listers have raised on the matter, you categorise
them into themes/areas of intervention, and then have listers debate around
them and make suggestions moving forward.  You could set aside some five
days where each day can be dedicated to an issue, and the recommendations
can form part of the f2f meeting at Strath.
