THanks for pointing this out Farell.  I agree, we regularly have a 
fairly small turnout at the policy meetings held every month.  THe GDPR 
has prompted a lot of fast moving changes.  For those of us fighting the 
good fight on the RDS group, we felt there was a need to respond somehow 
to these letters and events, from which we felt excluded.  I agree that 
we need to work on how to improve participation whilst not actually 
sacrificing output.

cheers Stephanie
