I guess I misunderstood this motion to be specific to renewing Mason's role as 
liaison. 

I agree with Avri that we should assess the overall efficacy of the GAC pilot 
program, but just assumed that was a separate topic. And if for some reason we 
decided to sunset the pilot, then the liaison role would go with it. 

Thank you,

J.
