All Working Group meetings were held by Zoom because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A draft working document was produced using e-mail inputs in Spring 2020, and the first Working Group meeting was held as a kick-off workshop in five sessions on the 4, 8 and 9 June 2020, with invited speakers from the European Commission and other leading stakeholders. Most of the work was done by e-mail, with Working Group meetings on 20 July, 3 September, 10/11 November, 7 December 2020 and 8 February 2021.
