[CCWG-ACCT] Venue & Travel - September Face-to-Face Meeting

[Nigel Roberts]

James

This Is history repeating itself. It's looking to me like it is entirely deliberate. 

They think we've forgotten how the IFWP wrapped up in a cosy negotiation that excluded the participants of the process and plan to repeat the exercise with the transition.

Expect the result of this meeting to be a negotiated deal between the Board and the CCWG Leadership.

As an unfounded participant that on such short notice couldn't rearrange my commitments anyway I am more than a little irritated at being excluded in this exercise.
