Not at all. In the last meeting, we had spare time at the end of the
second day anyway.

I would read this as the variant expressed by others - "Forum Meetings"
includes all aspects of the meeting (because any part could become
overcrowded), and so clause c) trumps clause a) for WG meetings during
Forum Meetings, and so you need to explicitly invite people. But I hope
that task will not be too onerous :-)
