out where in the new Charter it explicitly notes that the BC representatives to
the Council will vote according to the wishes of the constituency? &nbsp;As we experienced
in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seoul</st1:place></st1:City>, one
of our representatives declared he is not bound by the view of the constituency
and has a right to vote from his personal perspective. &nbsp;&nbsp;I think
everyone in the BC is of like mind on this matter, i.e., our representative
MUST vote the constituencies position.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
