Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: flush this out
Que veut-on dire ici par « continue to flush this out »?
Cette mesure fait partie d'une liste de mesures à prendre pour l'élaboration et la mise en oeuvre d'un projet.

• Define OP's, OPCs and work plans (the initial draft of these are in the OPPs and our planned discussion on august 3-4 related to the definition of governance and the unbundling process will continue to flush this out)

Merci :-)

concrétiser, développer
Explanation:
Given that the objective is to "define governance" in an ongoing, "unbundling" process then perhaps this is a typo for "flesh out"?
The English is just slightly odd.

Explanation:

j\'ai l\'impression que la définition des OP, OPC et plans de travail se fait attendre, qu\'elle est toujours retardée par quelque chose qui intervient avant, non? Dans ce cas pousser ves la sortie indique une intention de faire traîner les choses.

flush out means to make someone show their hand, reveal themselves. MY suggestion is by extrapolation to fit the context

neutral  writeaway: I think it's used more in the hunting context-like when a dog flushes out game-maybe this is North Americanese?

  -> yes but by extrapolation in the context, no?

élucider tout cela


Explanation:
Dans ce contexte, il faut peut-être percevoir l'idée de clarifier, d'élucider quelque chose! Merci.
