It's a bit tight - I invited Gwen for oceans, but she's not going to <br>
have a slot, rather participate in the breakouts. I assume John can do <br>
this same. It's very important that he understands that his brief is to <br>
represent the biodiv community writ large.<br>

This would be an excellent brief to give John D<br>
