Great Q Cary, we need clarification.  Since the IDN work kicked off after
SanPaulo,
really, there is a lot of work covered with extensive input from the wg and
observers
groups, therefore, which ever document is considered from RN (yes 128 pages)
or
IDN WG,  it does not make sense to forge ahead without everyone that
provided input.
In that I agree with Cary.  i.e we cannot use the same scheduling we did in
SP.

I note that the RN draft report is 125 pages long, and even if the IDN

It was my understanding that RAM was to allocated time to discuss the RN
draft,
as per Chuck note to me and Ram's response in the Council call last.   As
was
rightfully asked by the RN chair for additional input, we seem to need
additional time to
discuss it. ( I have distributed the report to everyone and no one has but
few has come
back to me, and those few will not be there on Sunday.

Therefore, considering that the IDN work is the first and most critical and
complex I might add,
I highly recommend that we either reschedule or allot additional day, as
Cary suggested

kind regards,
Sophia
