Marilyn</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>sorry to hear
about your health issue<SPAN class=812251012-21102009>
and </SPAN>thank you for the time taken to propose new changes to the BC
charter<SPAN class=812251012-21102009>. </SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Many of these
require substantial member discussion and raise issues that we intentionally did
not raise in the proposed text that the BC has been discussing for 7
months.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=968015607-20102009>For example,
changes to member fee categories <SPAN class=812251012-21102009>are
intended to be part of the work of the </SPAN>new finance committee,
balancing the impact of any change with the budget and call for fees.
</SPAN><SPAN class=968015607-20102009>Additionally, the impact of any future
merger with the ISP or IPC needs substantial debate. Today the IPC only allows
votes for associations - is that the model we want to adopt for the BC ? Do they
want us ? The ISP tell us no. There is no need to limit election dates given the
unknown for changes. The BC can at any time vote for a new charter or CSG merger
should that happen and at that point cut the term of previous elections.

<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The present v16 of
the charter submitted for member consideration last week:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=812251012-21102009>- is based on the current
charter</SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>- factors in
the staff considerations</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>- factors in broad
member input over the last 7 months</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>- reverts the review
section to the current charter (more or less) but with better due
process.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=968015607-20102009><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>It would be
more constructive to hear if there are any substantive parts of v16 with which
members are still concerned<SPAN class=812251012-21102009> , such as the
recent comment from Ayesha Hassan of
ICC. </SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
