Editing Preparation Gjoa Haven Workshop (section)

=Introductions=

Originally, this would have been the moment that the Gathering would be opened with some welcoming words by PI Peter van Coeverden de Groot, and HTA vice-chair James Qitsualik. 

However it seemed clear that somewhat of a transition was required before "business as usual could be picked up. 

As the designated host of the gathering, I stepped up to express my sympathies and reiterated that this gathering was meant to provide a space where we can meet each other as people, with emotions and identities beyond our titles and official functions. 

I read out the general agreed upon guiding principles "to meet in a good way" that emerged from the pre-workshop, and then pointed out where people could find a poster with these principles in the room. 

After that, I passed the word to Peter, who initiated an introduction round across the room.
