Dear Glen and Bruce

>From my notes of the call, I see that the GAC Liaison, Suzanne Sene, made a
request for a statement from the Council explaining the reason to take a
vote now, and how the TF would now advance its work, after the vote. I would
suggest that Glen carefully detail the discussion between Bruce Tonkin, as
chair, and Suzanne, and others, related to the statements made about the
reason that the vote was held -e.g. to advance further work in the TF, and
also Bruce's clarifications of what the TF's ToR is about. That detailed
notes section from the minutes might be helpful to Suzanne as a transmittal
to the GAC members. From my notes, it seems that it covers some of the
questions asked by the GAC Liaison.

Bruce, you seemed to be suggesting that individual councilors could, if they
choose, explain why they voted a particular way votes. I didn't think that
was what the GAC Liaison was asking for, although I have no view on whether
individual councilors might want to add in that level of detail. 

Can I ask as well, when the additional transcript is available? I don?t
think it appropriate to just send off a transcript, although of course, it
should be available. However, detailed segments of the minutes might be the
approach to take, assuming that that section could be done quickly, for the
Liaison's use.

Marilyn Cade
