Monique, Pierre, all,
This is excellent, and brilliant timing! I wanted to just flag quickly what's
under development. As Pierre alluded to V2 is under development for a launch,
soon. There's been discussion of this within the Technical Working Group. But
we want to widen the feedback, and the views forward. I'll follow up soon with
more details, and we can all figure out a good time to gather somewhere online
to discuss in real time.
