Dear colleagues, As we progress on team composition of the EPDP Charter, I note the following feedback that Council leadership received from the GAC Chair: So far, it’s not clear whether Alternates will be on the mailing list and with what privileges .. I also believe that you may want to allow Alternates to listen-in (strictly as observers) during EPDP calls to ensure smooth timely backup when needed .. It makes good sense that Alternates are able to keep themselves fully up to speed with the work of the group, as should they need to step in and fulfil the Alternate role, they will need to be current to do so effectively. This could be specified in our description of Alternate, if nobody objects. Best wishes, Heather
