Dear Chairs, I have just seen the proposed agenda for Paris, and I am concerned that we will be devoting an excessive proportion of the time to the Community Empowerment side, while leaving insufficient time to address the extremely important issues on direct accountability, including in particular IRP improvements. I see that we don't get to a session on the IRP until the afternoon of the second day, when only an hour is scheduled, plus a half-hour for cross-check with CWG requirements. I both fear that this may not be enough, and also that this structure will focus consideration of the models excessively on how the deliver community empowerment and marginalise consideration of their effect on direct accountability. I had hoped that the paper analysing Stress Test 23 would be added to the reading list (see url [1]), which shows potential weaknesses in our IRP proposal. I would encourage colleagues to read it (or at least look at the diagram!). I would like to ask you for the opportunity to present this paper during the Stress Test session on Friday morning.
