The Co-Chairs and Authors of GEO-6 for Cities met at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Vancouver Downtown from October 14-18, 2019 to familiarize the authors with the GEO process, logistics and procedures as well as allow for brainstorming on an overall strategy for completing the five chapters of the GEO-6 for Cities report. The meeting also provided an opportunity for an orientation session for all authors where they worked on expanding the annotated outlines for each chapter and began drafting the chapters towards their zero-order draft stage. Lastly, the team defined next steps, roles and responsibilities.
