General Context: corporate GIS
CAG explanation above sounds about right thanks! (Reference to keeping sweet architects.)
ALO ref, meeting agenda item: "Mapping Services Agreement and the ALO role", probably some terribly obvious job 'title', liaison officer maybe of some description, I'll probably just have to ask.

Sometimes it seems to me that I(S/C/X)T people speak in acronyms all through meetings that change from one meeting to the next (possibly to make themselves sound clever and mysterious..the dark art thing), insert an extra 'S' or something then scoff at the idiot from another department who didn't know that IFHT has changed to IFSTH as early as yesterday. Sometimes I do ask but I didn't have the strength today. Of course they are probably reading so in that case I love and worship them all.

Wish I chaired the meeting, you can get away with actually no contribution simply by sounding decisive as you say 'right, good, next item' I find...is it time to go home yet?

Any ideas about the other one?

(I know the rest of them have secret meetings without me, it's a conspiracy!!!)
