How do we share our data?
What are we going to get out of the cooperation?
What do we need to avoid?
Learn from mistakes others have made in the past?

We should be seeking advice from others who have been through this process before
Healthcare should be provided should there be any problems after the trial
We need a lot of information to put together to be able to navigate this as a group
The mission statement for the federation
Key goals

Tsveta – would be good to have an overview of how many families are in each country
And how many in total – to have on the website and update once a year
Enrah did this a few years back
