    <p>Hi Rafik - for this meeting if we have time or perhaps JOBURG</p>
    <p>I think - as the WS2 work starts to complete (hopefully) - that
      we need to have a discussion about the prioritization of policy
      work to ensure that we have as best coverage and engagement as
      possible - hopefully including some resource shift from WS2 to
      PDPs.</p>
