    Jeremy and steering committee<br>
    <br>
    Many thanks for this - much appreciated.  It shows how much has
    been, and can be, achieved when we work together in a collaborative
    and constructive way.<br>

      Please find attached a 2013 report from the Best Bits interim
      steering committee, in response to a good suggestion last November
      from Anriette Esterhuysen that this would improve transparency,
      and lay a path for renewal of the steering committee after the
      interim group had served one year.
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Even for those who did not have concerns about transparency,
        you will still find the report useful to read, because of the
        way that it maps the different workstreams that have been
        undertaken or proposed last year.  It is very easy to get lost
        with different activities and conversations going on in
        different places, so we hope this helps to make things much
        clearer!
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>If anyone has any questions about the report please feel
          free to ask.<br>
