- Bond: DELPH-IN with grew! https://match.grew.fr/ let’s get something working!
- Luis: DELPH-IN Demos (plural – what & where). Which demos do we have and want to explore futher

- Luis: DELPH-IN & Robots – ideas on multimodality, grounding and others…
- Ann: Using smaller grammars for tasks (e.g., starting point for semantic parsing)
- David: Hawkins’ processing hypotheses and corpus parsing
- Dan: Linking ERG lexicon to WordNet: issues to resolve
- Spencer: Default unification
- Weiwei/Luis: Ambiguity and Mal-rules in Grammatical Error Detection
