I think this would be very valuable. I have just come back from Paris where
John Bosak gave exactly such a report. I intend to comment on some of
Paris, but specifically excluded Jon's report in case I got something
wrong. As always it was very carefully presented. There were no surprises
to those who talk regularly about these things but it formed up a good deal
I was unclear about.

I know Jon is very busy - I don't know whether others are prepared to
summarise?
