Hello Glen,

From the recent postings by Council members, there seem to be several other international meetings being held in February that potentially would conflict with the possibility of holding a physical meeting.

Please survey the members of Council to identify what dates they would be available either for a physical meeting or a pro-longed teleconference towards the second half of February/first half of March. This will help identify if we have a critical mass of participants, and form information for Council members to assist in making a decision under agenda item 4 of the next Council meeting. As mentioned earlier if a constituency is unable to have three Council members available for a committee meeting, than it would be possible to appoint alternates to represent them - but it would not be desirable for a constituency to need to entirely depend on non-Council members. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
