<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">(1) the questions are truly legal in nature, as opposed to policy or policy implementation questions;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">(2) the questions are phrased in a neutral manner, avoiding both presumed outcomes as well as constituency positioning;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Based on feedback from the team, the membership is representative, i.e., each group may, but is not required to, appoint up to one representative. The appointed representative, where possible,
should have legal expertise. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Members of the Legal Committee are asked to provide advice based on their legal experience, factoring in all aspects of the conversation, not only that of their respective constituency. The Legal
Committee will meet on an as-needed basis. The meetings will be open to anyone from the EPDP Team who would like to attend; however, only the appointed representatives will be invited to speak.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Committee’s work and/or have concerns with certain questions, please filter that feedback through your appointed representative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
