Was this discussed with the Council as a whole? Nothing like this should be done without fromal approval of the Council. For the record, I do not agree with this and do not believe the "Council leadership" was put in place to take such actions independently of the rest of the Council. Tim

Councillors,
I wanted to inform you that I have suggested to your group Chairs that a mailing list be created to link the C and SG leadership with the Council leadership.
Their response was very much in favour, so a mailing list will be set up for the Council leaders (Chair and VC) and the group leaders (Chair and VC).
The idea is to improve informal communications between the group leadership and the Council.
We are also thinking about a regular conf call at some point, but this is not set in stone yet.
Thanks,
Stéphane
