Outputs

There were good questions and engaging discussions that came out of all the presentations
Notably there is significant interest in commencing standards work in the transportation space, building on previous work done specifically in the Commercial Aviation Standard. Manuel raised the potential to expand this out to cover transport and said that his organization was keen to move this forward. This was also agreed to by Rolf and Steve, who they said they would request support from the relevant areas within their organizations.
Discussion on improving participation on reviews led to the team agreeing to create a page in Plato that shows an overview of the Forum reviews in progress
This will allow organizations to direct members to the page to participate in the reviews.
