That set of meetings will cover the technical community well and is a good start - but there will need to be a sustained outreach beyond that. It is also not going to be sufficient to rely upon email lists or other technological mechanisms - many, especially in governments, simply don't work that way. This process will need to got to where non-technical stakeholders go, not oblige them to go to technical community meetings.
