Hi all,

Attached is a red-line version of the letter with some suggested minor edits. I suggested moving one paragraph, therefore my edits appear more significant than they are.

Regards,

Keith

Subject: [council] Letter and updated response to the CCWG-Accountability

Dear Councilors,

Please find attached a draft letter and attachment, intended to be sent by James, Donna and Heather on behalf of the Council to the CCWG-Accountability. As agreed on the Council call of 14 January, a small group of Councilors (James, Paul and Ed) worked with staff to draft a letter with an updated Council response to each of the recommendations in the CCWG-Accountability’s Third Draft Proposal.

The updated response (attached in both redlined and clean format) is an attempt to capture all the suggestions and points of agreement that were reached during the 14 January call. Thanks to James, Ed and Paul, it would seem that the most difficult and contentious of the issues brought up on that call may be addressed by the new language that you will see in the document.

We hope that this updated response and the proposed letter achieves the Council’s objectives and captures its views as expressed in the discussions to date.

Thanks and cheers

Mary
