I am writing regarding our next monthly meeting, currently scheduled for <b>Wednesday, 28 January at 10:00 a.m.</b></div>

As there is an in-person meeting scheduled for 18-19 February, we were wondering whether you consider both meetings are necessary or if you would like to cancel the online meeting. </div>

>From ICFO’s side, the main updates we would share are related to the ongoing and submitted Deliverables.</div>

Finally, we would also like to take this opportunity to remind you to <u>fill the attendance form</u> if you're attending the in-person SC meeting, so we can go ahead with lunch and dinner reservations (<a href="https://forms.office.com/e/CQb3vrxaE9" id="OWA7779096e-826c-1c2d-13d6-8d50f6c0185f" class="OWAAutoLink" title="https://forms.office.com/e/CQb3vrxaE9" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" style="margin: 0px;">Steering
