[council] RE: Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT 2) Final Report & Recommendations

[Maria Farrell]

Hi Jonathan,

I'm happy to support this, and thank you for drafting it. There's one small
typo, track changes version attached. It's in para 1, page 3.

I'd have liked if we tackled head-on the issue of the narrowness of some
PDP WGs' participation, which the ATRT2 report provided some pretty
convincing numbers on. But as I haven't gone to the trouble of actually
drafting anything on it, I can't complain.

All the best, Maria
