Hi Bruce: 

Just wanted to flag these issues for consideration in the council's discussion 
today.  There hasn't been any feedback on the list, so I wouldn't necessarily 
characterize them as task force positions yet, but at the very least it's some 
feedback from the TF chair.  It would be difficult to know how to handle some 
of our existing work items without some explicit feedback from the Council.

reference


        As we discussed yesterday, I've drafted some comments from the TF to 
the council to consider in deciding on new terms of reference. Hopefully these 
are fairly un-controversial.  Please let me know if you have any feedback:

        (1) The task force requests that the council clearly specify whether 
the terms of reference are considered to be a new set of terms of reference or 
merely modifications to the existing terms of reference.  The task force also 
requests that the council specify whether the intent is to apply the terms of 
reference to a new task force, or is rechartering the existing task force.

        (2) The task force requests that the council clearly indicate whether 
policy development should continue in each of the areas in which the task force 
currently has work items.  In the event that the council directs the task force 
not to continue to develop policy in one or more areas, we request that the 
council make appropriate provisions to conclude work and make necessary factual 
reports to council.

        The third area we discussed, incorporating a reference to the transfers 
task force definition of contact roles, has already been incorporated in 
Bruce's latest draft.
