most other issues on our agenda and still result in rushed and less than fully comprehensive consideration. I would certainly support a Doodle poll to identify other pre-departure for Marrakech dates that might work for Council members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So far as my “momentum” remark, what I was trying to articulate was a view that the Council, which has understandably lagged behind the other Chartering Organizations
due to the size and diversity of its membership, should try to catch up and even get a bit ahead in this final stage of the WS 1 approval process – whether that is to approve the recommendations package or identify one or more that raise continuing concerns.

my schedule in the week preceding our 12 day (including travel) adventure to Morocco is set and packed. I'll be in the air most of the 29th, travelling from the UK to Minnesota, in a meeting in St. Paul on the 30th, and then heading for Morocco the next day.
If we are to have a special call I would ask that a Doodle poll first be conducted to see who could attend and when.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I certainly respect Phil's concerns about delaying our vote. I do, however, believe the CCWG needs to take precedence over other issues. I do understand that those of us in
the NCSG are a bit unique in that we freely and individually determine our own votes. For us, having F2F time prior to the full Council meeting to talk about our positions and concerns is very important. Not all of our Councillors have been intensely involved
in the CCWG. That said, I would think that other SG's and C's might want to talk things over F2F before rendering a decision on this very important matter as well. In fact, ideally I'd delay the vote until our Tuesday meeting so all of us have ample opportunity
to receive input from our members during earlier Constituency and SG meetings before we vote.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the proposal, consult with our members, and vote appropriately. Provided we meet the deadline given to us by the CCWG we've done our job.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

There have been only a few significant changes to the Recommendations since Council last reviewed them, so we are not starting de novo. If we can complete our work on the 29<sup>th</sup> that would give significant momentum to the Final Accountability Proposal.
If we can’t complete the work then at least we should be able to identify the few remaining Recommendations on which there may still be concerns, and then zero in on them in Marrakech.

of other matters on our agenda. Also, many of us will be jetlagged, and there are always unanticipated travel delays that may prevent some Councilors from participating.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
