Suggestions from the workshop

During the closing session, the participants had a very productive discussion, which was minuted. For your convenience, we assembled a bullet list of requirements on DRM Systems, suggestions for liaison and finally suggestions. There is no mentioning of the amount of supporters or agreements. This is just the rough list of all aspects. For a more focused document, please have a look at the Workshop Summary Report.
