Meeting format

• In order to keep the meeting on time and be efficient/productive, here

is the format I would like to follow from today:

• Speakers present their full talk without interruptions
• All questions will be taken at the end of the talk in the 5 minute time

slot (except for the HR talk today that has 10 min. talk time and 15

• min. discussion time)
• As always, please raise your hands if you have questions/comments
• I encourage all of you to write your questions down and follow up

with presenters as needed if we cannot address them today

• Most work should happen outside the UEC meeting and most

discussions at the relevant sub-committee meetings
