<DIV>I agree with you in principle, Ian, but I think we are more likely to get
progress and agreement if we go piece by piece, than if we try to do it as a
complete reform package. I suggest that we continue to gather support for these
amendments, and then continue the process.<BR></DIV>Ginger<BR></DIV>

<DIV>while I having no problem with this wording, I would prefer if we are
going through charter amendments that we do so taking into account the charter
reform group recommendations as well (as mentioned by Jeremy recently). In
other words, lets do the whole package.</DIV>
