---------------------------------
Is it not about time that we as Council started trusting the staff (whom we 
asked for so
long to have) and respond favourably to useful recommendations?
As someone who works for a secretariat I make work plan recommendations all the 
time and my
members - some of the top companies in the world - expect no less.

Surely we want staff to guide us, steer us and help move things forward?
Then the WGs and PDPs decide on the actual policy (and are at liberty to 
overturn a staff
recommendation).

I for one like to see paid full time professionals be allowed to do their job.
