<br>
Just to clarify that I have been on the Board since the Affirmation of Commitments was signed with the US Government.<br>
<br>
There has been no discussion on the Board during that time to terminate the agreement.<br>
<br>
I have heard discussions at different times to have a way to make the same affirmation to other Governments or the global public as a whole.<br>
<br>
The suggestions so far to incorporate the key elements into the bylaws make sense to me.<br>
<br>
Even if the Board was contemplating any change to the AoC - it would be done through an extensive community consultation process.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bruce Tonkin<br>
