Proposed Presentation Strategy: Because of the size of the group and tight timelines, we are limiting regional presentations to a maximum of half an hour in the hope that everyone will have an opportunity to provide a brief overview of their region (one person will lead the information sharing for the region and others from the region can contribute and add to the information as required).
