Draft notes
Note: there needs to be a 1h session on the 1st day of working sessions (Tue) to explain the rules of the game, how everything will work and what is expected from each WS (Working Session)


 * Working Sessions can meet simultaneously or by some method of time allotment (depends on scheduling and priority)
