NIce to hear the enthusiasm.
Given my severly limited ability to get to these meetings - as evidenced by the fact that this will the my first for some years, I'm not sure a brief topic per meeting will see things finished this century :-)
I'll give the overview this time & see what the feedback is??

I want to hear ALL about this topic. It seems like it could easily fill
an entire meeting, but perhaps it makes more sense to do it in a mini
series of talks rather than trying to dedicate an entire meeting about
it. Variety, spice of life, etc.
Just my immediate thoughts on the subject of scheduling.
