Thanks Nathalie, as always.

In part 2, Pam raised the issue of whether we needed to look again at the wording of the transmittal letter to the Board re the EPDP Report, and suggested a small team – for which I volunteered, mainly because that letter doesn’t mention the timelines needed to implement the recs. Has that been discarded?

Thanks in advance for the clarification,

Marie
