As a follow up to the 9 June discussion about the Vienna student paper competition, James reported that he had a very productive meeting with Alpesh Shaw from the SA and John Kulick at the Board series. There is a rush to get something in place by September 2015.

We could maybe do the consensus building workshop as part of that activity.
