Second session "beginner level" (repetition of last October training session)
Low level of registration:
Problem of mailing?
Problem of date?
Not all stakeholders informed?
Format not interesting? (need more advanced level, prefer seminars in MS …??)
What should we do next?

Sending your application only in your official language
Designing a risky system
Designing a system based on a formula and not a set value
