Hi Bart, hi all,

I have begun reading through the proposed guidelines and suddenly realize that I’m missing part of the “legacy” as I’ve only recently joined the Council.

From what I have been reading, I certainly would not want to object but I wonder whether it would be helpful to have a redlined version of those draft guidelines that are intended to replace existing ones. It would certainly make my assessment a lot easier if I would be able to compare in an easy way how the current rule is and what the proposed change looks like.

Thanks in advance and have a happy Eastern Weekend all.

Cheers,

Peter
