Approximately 12 participants are expected (not including PVN reps). The primary risk may be excess technical jargon and acronyms; we will do our utmost to explain these and will ask the PVN rep kindly speak up if we do not. There are no Terms of Reference, although an agenda will provided and I would be happy to personally connect with participant(s) prior to the session.
