RE: [council] Constituency representatives required by 15 Dec 2003

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGCRP" <mcade@xxxxxxx>]

As I understand the role, the representative  mentioned is responsible for the 
interface into the constituency itself and helping the constituency to better 
understand the issues. I do think that we need to try to move this topic ahead, 
and so do support the need to begin the development of the constituency 
statements even over the holiday period. I am sympathetic to the challenge that 
Marc notes. It might be feasible to support a one week extension to the 
submission of the constituency reports -- to Jan 12.

Given the importance of the topic, I propose to add a week to the
final date of January 5. Many people will be off email at the end of
this month.  When they come back there will be other things to take
care of first. If we want good input from the constituencies we need
to give them a fair chance to make up their mind and respond.
