I'd like to second (or third, whatever) the suggestion for sharing a redline of the draft so we can easily see where changes have been made, and scheduling a BC call as soon as feasible to have a discussion. There are aspects of the proposed charter that either concern me or raise questions and it would be good to have a full and frank dialogue as, after all, the constituency will be operating under the revised charter for a long time.
