Mason has not discussed it with the wider SG, nor even the rest of the ExCom to my knowledge.

It is the Councilors' place to have that dialogue with their SG leadership. If there is some kind of disconnect between the Councilors and their SG then that needs to be resolved by them, not by circumventing the structure we have so painstakingly put in place.

It takes more than a straw poll to change that structure.

Thanks Tim.

How do others on the Council feel?

Tim, Adrian, please note that our Chair Mason Cole has expressed his support for this.
