What to discuss with the CEO

[Stephanie Perrin]

Fair enough, Rafik. But what do you want to talk to him about, prospects 
for world peace?  I do think that workload management is certainly a 
concern for the CEO, because he is directing the staff who support us, 
he is setting their objectives and goals, and we are the raw material 
they are working with, as the volunteers thrown into the process to 
produce output.

We had an excellent meeting with the Board in San Juan, let's try to 
continue that conversation and figure out how we can maximize the 
support that staff give us.

cheers Steph

PS I found the Berlin group report, buried as feedback on the models.   
But I still want that librarian to assist us in finding documents, and 
the archivist to ensure the documents are actually there!!
