Some also noted that a definition of 'chartered' would be needed as it is not clear whether SO/ACs are chartered.</li></ol><div>Members are encouraged to share their views on these three options and/or identify any other options that should be considered to address this issue ahead of the next meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>With best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Marika</div></body></html>
