I'm preparing a few comments and draft taxonomies for the group and the country teams. I should upload them later this week. As requested last time, I'm also prepared to lead a workshop with country teams on that. Francois and Chris, you may think of when it would fit appropriately in the agenda (of the 2 or the 3 days).

I am wondering on the merits of combining the break-out groups Panel with the Outcome Mapping / Most Significant Change: something you may want to discuss with Ricardo Gomez. The Panel refers to the arrangement: getting a number of stakeholders to vision -at the start- where they want to go with livelihood goals, and how the public access services and technology will help them get there. OM helps them organize the "capacity development" markers that they monitor regularly, while MSC asks them to agree on the criteria for narrative (story telling) that is most indicative of progress towards their vision.
