<div>I think this year's Intersessional was unsuccessful, partially because of insufficient planning on our part, as well as the wrong delegates being in attendance. But I do think the concept itself is a good one and one which should continue. I am happy to remove this paragraph from the document altogether, however, if we do not have a common agreement on their value. I don't think it ranks among our most pressing concerns!<br></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><div>Ayden <br></div></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div> On 8 February 2018 10:14 PM, Dr. Tatiana Tropina <t.tropina@mpicc.de> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><p>I am one of those who questions the value of the intersessionals.<br></p><p>I won't support continuing them every year.

proposed NCSG comment on the FY19 budget. This took quite
some time to comb through, and I might have missed some
things. So before I share this comment on the main
discussion list and face the inevitable wrath of criticism
and dislike, I thought I might share it here to get some
initial feedback. I have also cc'd in a few other people
who might not be on this mailing list but who I think
might be able to offer some constructive edits on its
contents: <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tBia4z5QQFGz9vFUQUkS0lbZNqU6C5n4pyUmlH3m8e8/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tBia4z5QQFGz9vFUQUkS0lbZNqU6C5n4pyUmlH3m8e8/edit?usp=sharing</a><br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks for your help,<br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Ayden<br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">P.S.
