<div> </div>
<div>Dear MEDIN Working Groups,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This November, MEDIN will be holding its fourth joint working group meeting (the MEDIN Mega Meeting!) to bring together the expertise from its various working groups to discuss issues that cut across all the groups. I am currently trying to pin down some
dates and would be grateful if you could let me know your availability using the DoodlePoll here: <a href="http://link.e.doodle.com/uni/wf/click?upn=8dNs8i4ZDyStMeI1Sn5r9JSbK59YEKy2D80mjr9TQq74lCUm6MywC-2BMO82GXd3Xr_OQ0LkTYIKXRDUky6rwaEFRr3xLAaUna20n0AqctFxA7XqoSjgqeuF4xzAIfn0MFSsGrjY2F0HuyaEkDpoub-2Fno-2BnjPZlnQKuN7wyjyWBhhL8TpOht6uJpvHk6T5Qk7mXqSFEkhZYDOli32KZXhDCK-2Bo1tCocrrX-2FzxVQQzPQUcTZ3-2FCTpostUB3ELVyk7hp164Kjk9oHzFjlPOWOL94XyATXifNBXkMtGuP-2FWGODf0VDpTGHHdXFA17pJJMrvSXK"><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2" color="#282F34"><span style="font-size:10pt;">https://doodle.com/poll/iwzn4x4863yfmh8i</span></font></a>
.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As in previous years, we hope to bookend the Joint Working Group meeting (the Mega meeting) with the regular DAC and Standards Working group meetings, so I’ll try to make sure that this will be feasible with the dates you provide. We also hope to link
with the MEDIN hackathon and a historic environment DAC meeting if possible. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Depending on people’s availability, the proposed schedule will be:</div>
