Hi All:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I agree with Anne that the Resolution might include the collaboration with the Board. But I
<i class="">THINK</i> the small team includes Board member membership, so there would be nothing extraordinary with the small team receiving that input. So that would reduce or eliminate the need to call that collaboration out, but it is probably better to
indicate that the small team is comprised of Council and Board members. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Best regards,</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">In respect of item 4 and the Council’s SubPro Clarifying Statement, I have some news to share and a proposed path forward. Council leadership and Paul received a note from Avri and Becky (co-leads of the Board
SubPro caucus), informing us that the Board wishes to have a little more time to refine the language regarding the enforceability of PICs and RVCs (i.e., the majority of Topic 9 and by implication, Topics 30 and 31). From a leadership perspective, we believe
that removing the text in the Clarifying Statement that relates to PICs and RVCs, and having the Council approve what remains, is a pragmatic path forward to allow progress on at least some of the recommendations. Once the Board reverts with suggested refinements
to the PICs and RVCs language in the Clarifying Statement, separate Council action can be taken when appropriate. We believe the alternative approach is to delay any action on the Clarifying Statement until all of the language is ready for approval.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">While it is not ideal to break the Clarifying Statement into two parts, we believe incremental progress is preferred. To be clear, we are proposing that a revised Clarifying Statement (attached as a redlined
document), that removes the topics related to PICs and RVCs, be approved by the Council’s meeting on 24 August. While time is allocated for discussion on this item, we do encourage you to voice any concerns you may have on the mailing list.</span><span lang="EN-GB" class=""><u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></p>
