support – expressing a coherent set of problems and wants, with more
clout than colleges acting individually. Could help efficiency in Autolib
support by reducing the number of calls made to log the same problem.
‣ Number of meetings, and Autolib involvement? termly, and yearly
respectively. 3 for the group and an extra one for Payne Automation?
