18. Key discussion points How can we make sure subgroup functions well with Reps? How can Reps systematically listen to and feed back to subgroup? Should there be communication with Reps outside subgroup meetings and how? E.g. 1 hour per subgroup meeting, ad hoc meetings on specific topics as they come up? Online communication? Email briefings?
