Stephane and support his suggestion. I think the Council should put in at
least a brief communication about the preliminary report rather than say
nothing at this point - although a few Board members are (as Tim mentioned)
very well aware of the state of things, it would be preferable if the whole
Board and the community can receive something from us, however short or bland.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

We might just want to think about communicating something as a response to
the initial report that the VI WG will put before us, but holding up on any
vote until we can either get nearly all council members in attendance or we
get a final report from the WG.<br>
<br>
If we do decide to take this path, perhaps a couple of sentences in the
minutes and we ask Glen to inform the Board secretariat accordingly?<br>
<br>
This way, we both do our job as custodians of the policy process in informing
the Board of our current progress and we don't go overboard in acting on the
WG's prelim report.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
