Reception at Phyllis Posey's home in Jerusalem - at the end of that day's meeting, we all

enjoyed an unforgettable evening at Phyllis Posey's home in Jerusalem. On our way there,

we travelled around the capital city and visited some of its major sites, such as the Knesset

(Israeli parliament), the Supreme Court of Israel, the Old City Wall, the Tower of David and

other monuments. At Phyllis' house, delicious soups were waiting to warm us of the cold

weather. Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, who is also responsible for water-related issues in the

city, came to meet us. Before returning to Tel Aviv, we stopped to watch the landscape of

Jerusalem at night and visited an ancient aqueduct that was used in the past to supply water

to the old city of Jerusalem.

The meetings were held with cooperation and mutual help, which contributed to the work of the TC.

Good progress was made in the development of the standards.

The next TC spring meeting will be held in Bolivia on the week of May 18th, 2020.
