  1. Such a great meeting! Even with the thunder, it flowed well and everybody worked well together to have the meeting well-organised.
    Thank you to our president for setting up the hybrid meeting in such a great way.
    I congratulate Gail as TopicMaster, because all speakers were able to present a longer TableTopic (all over 1 minute and very well laid out TableTopics).
