          has been almost two-and-a-half years since the WG was revived
          on 05 August 2011. I think that it is the right time to pause,
          reflect and take stock of our experience as a WG. Toward this
          end, I propose that our meeting next week on Jan 17,
          9:30-11:30am will be devoted to the following main agenda
          items: (1) Review of TOR for SANRM WG, and (2) Review of
          current structure and management. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

          order to tackle the two agenda successfully, we will need the
          active participation and presence of the WG members,
          therefore, I urge you all to attend this important meeting. To
          equip us with some background information, I have attached the
          Annual Reports for 2011, 2012 and 2013.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
