Personally I would be content to focus on the first two, both broad as is.

We'd be offering a dialogue with us about why they don't want a dialogue with 
us?  Doesn't sound awkward at all...A priori I would think it better to clarify 
the concerns in advance of the meeting, e.g. via Adrian's survey, and to 
demonstrate the value of meetings by having a good discussion of key policy 
issues, perhaps in Bruce's mixed format.

In any event, I am among those who've found these to be very useful.
