Re: [council] WHO study agenda item - creation of a template for study proposals

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Makes sense to me.  Thanks for the change.

By the way, I did not think of this as  motion so much as a plan that  
the council could discuss.  We could vote on it, or a changed version  
of it, after discussion, but I don't know if that is really  
necessary.  Unless, of course, we decide to make a plan that varies in  
terms of dates from the motion adopted in LA.
thanks

a.
