Hi everyone,

Replies received from the Advisors, they understand the communities's
concerns and are happy for their meeting on Sunday 22 March to be open to
observers.

Staff will provide room details, etc, in due course.

Thanks for you patience.

Best,

Adam

All: I see the utility of the advisors having a meeting on their own, but
agree with the perception issue created if staff are briefing them or
providing background absent CCWG members.

Can I suggest that the best way to do this would be for one of the co-chairs
to be in the room with the advisors when staff are there, for the relevant
section of the meeting?

I don't have any view at this stage about the need for that part of the
meeting to be open to observers etc - it doesn't sound like a bad idea or a
problem to me per se to have that bit open. Open tho doesn't to me imply
remote participation etc at this point.

Cheers
Jordan
