4. Conduct joint research on the appropriate/common value chain

5.    Involvement of more core members in group leadership and speakers
database

i)                    A number of you mentioned during the past few meeting
that you would be willing and able to contribute more time to the CEWG. It
would be great to hear back from all of you that are interested in taking
part in this more sustainable allocation of work currently mainly done by
Filip and myself. Please let us know and we will together design a strategy
to make the work even better.

ii)                   Speakers database - We discussed this earlier, but it
is good to come back to it now when holidays are ending and people are
coming back into their routines. We would really appreciate if you could
provide a list of names (contact details) of people which could be potential
speakers at one of our future meetings. As you can see from this email, a
lot of work of the sub-groups will be focused on value chains so
professionals from this sector are expected (someone already mentioned
CSIRO), but that is not to say that we cannot and should not cover other
relevant topics. All potential speakers are more than welcome as we are
creating this database not only for this or next year, but for the time to
come.

Wish you all a great week and see you soon.

Regards,

Gareth Durrant - Business Development Advisor
