[CWG-Stewardship] Client Committee Update: Finalists

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi Greg, it's both ;-) thanks for all the hard work as we look forward to a
timely outcome of the council.

Thanks also for keeping to the deadline you set on client selection ;-)

One more thing, what will the rule of engagement look like? I presume there
will now be more direct interaction between the selected firm and CWG going
forward. Otherwise how will that engagement process look like?

Cheers!
