I am wondering whether the the words 'try , in good faith and in a
timely and efficient manner, ' were accidentally dropped from the newly
proposed formulation.

Form my perspective there is a world of difference between requiring a
genuine attempt to find a mutually acceptable solution and the
requirement for finding one.

In one case if the attempt fails, the Board is still free to make a  to
reject the advice.  In the later, the Board seems bound to find a
mutually agreed upon solution without the abilty to reject the advice if
no such solution can be found.

Can someone clarify this for me?  I accept that having missed a few
meeting lately, my understanding may be lagging, but that is my reason
for returning to the proposed and existing language.

thanks
