B. Commission business meeting:

Adding to our busy Wednesday, the Commission’s business meeting is scheduled for 12:10-13:30 in the Venus Room, main Miraikan conference building.  Although this will report on the work of the Commission, past and future, I would like the main focus of this business meeting to be on open discussion about the way the Commission, and ICA, goes forward with the development of a Body of Knowledge.  Your participation in this meeting would be much appreciated.
