Excellent! I am quite pleased to see this step, Olof, and appreciate your sharing the ad with the Council. It occurs to me that we should also provide a Council communication to the other SOs and Advisory Committees, shouldn't we? I think perhaps we take for granted that one SO "knows" what another SO is doing. We've spoken about this before, and my recommendation as a Councilor, is that it is the Council that undertakes the interaction with its sister organizations, rather than staff to staff, or staff to SO. Of course, it will be supported by staff. Bruce, can we discuss on our upcoming Council call, our plans, as Council, for that interaction? It should be part of our work plan. Olof, does that make sense to you to include it as a heading in the "work plan" that we are committed to establishing, per our Council resolution on this topic?
