      1. Decision: Propose a video call with Claus to explain stewardship prior to meeting; Ben to attend with Dutch/English translating lawyer present especially to capture any new requirements
    3. Draft policy plan 2022-2024

Next yearly policy plan will be derived from roadmap, which is recognized as living document of longer term planning (with the addition of points from the Chief Executive’s Vision in the 2019-2020 Annual Report), by the date of the general assembly.
