START Follow On Sessions

I keep hearing that there have been four rounds of START Follow On negotiations — but that omits two Presidential Summits, a meeting between lead negotiators in Rome and at least two “experts” meetings.

So I’ve tried to collect all of the START Follow On related meetings here, with dates and locations.

Corrections and/or additions are welcome.
