Thanks Mathieu<br>
<br>
Just a thought on the process. Is there any merit in doing this on
a rolling basis, recommendation by recommendation - in others words
the lawyers work on the bylaws sequentially, red-lining them,
passing them through the Co-chairs and rapporteurs, and then
forwarding to the CCWG to review. Perhaps it maybe what you are
outlining below, but I think it would be easier for the CCWG to
review the redlined versions bylaw by bylaw - on a rolling basis -
rather then as a package. And then a final opportunity to review
the whole to make sure that it sits well together and that any
linkages between the recommendations are not lost, etc.<br>
