class=659565717-11122009>Please forward Margie's messages, this one with the STI
report attached and the one with the link to the document, to your
respective groups for review and feedback immediately. As you all know, we
have a short window on this but hopefully we will be able to take action on the
report in our meeting six days from now. That will involve agreeing to an
exception to the Council procedures regarding timing of motions and documents so
also consider that and be prepared to communicate your group's position on that
in addition to the report itself. A possible motion regarding action on
the STI report will be drafted and distributed as soon as
possible.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
