Does that mean we can all indicate how we would have voted to the Board? Avri - could you provide can update of where we are with this. Have you communicated anything at all to the Board regarding this vote yet?

But if we're aiming for maximum transparency, I would also like it be recorded that in my message before the meeting stating I would be unable to participate, I said I would vote in favor. This may also be useful info for the Board. I'm not sure I can post to the Council list from this, my secondary email address, so perhaps one of you would be kind enough to forward this message to the Council list. Thanks, Stéphane Envoyé de mon iPhone Le 13 juil. 2009 à 11:03, William Drake <william.drake@graduateinstitute.ch> a écrit : Hi Avri's proposed approach is sensible and would be NCUC's preference. However, if there's overwhelming sentiment that differentiated reporting is needed, it would be better to respect board members' intelligence and dispense with the transparent spinning. Tim's approach would be preferable in that context.

I beleive that all of us are trying to get the restructuring process "right", and certain issues are important to some rather than to others. I think the Board deserves to be aware of this. Thank you.

It is a formal request from the BC. Philip *********************************************************** William J.
