Grace. Based on the ICG decisions in Dublin, it appears that they will
not be performing an oversight role of the implementation of the CWG
Stewardship recommendations. I think that means that we may need to
update our implementation action item spreadsheet to remove the ICG as one of
the responsible parties for certain action items. I also think that the
CWG may then be the responsible party in places where we listed the
ICG.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
