Dear Denise
Thanks for your message. I understood the purpose of the call as an initial orientation/briefing session, to run through the findings and recommendations, so that we can make the most of our time together in Costa Rica and make it interactive. If we have to spend the time in Costa Rica doing basic orientation, then it will cut down on the dialogue. The other purpose was to help us (the Review Team) to understand if the board see any show stoppers or foresee any major challenges in implementing any of the recommendations - this will give us more time to assimilate the views prior to our working meetings in Costa Rica. In short, I do see a value in the call as well as the face to face, particularly given how little interaction we have had with the board to date.
Kind Regards
Emily

Dear Emily,
I received a query from a few Board members and would appreciate your/the Team's assistance in answering.
Board members have received a detailed briefing on the Team's recommendations from me, and many (perhaps all?) plan to attend the Team's public forum in Costa Rica. They'd like to know if the Team intends to present Board members with the same information as they'll present in Costa Rica, or if you have more information to share? They were wondering if there is an additional purpose to this call beyond a general briefing on the Team's draft report?
I know the original intent (as I recall) was to brief the Board as soon as the draft report was issued to help focus their attention and answer questions. You certainly have their attention :).
Thanks for your assistance.
Denise
