<div>I am not entirely sure what initiative Sala is referring to here. It
appears to be a new one and unrelated to the smaller representative grouping
listed below, which is looking towards ways of jointly nominating CS reps to
various bodies and is not seeking to undertake the sorts of tasks and networking
Sala envisages.</div>

<div>It is also not clear to me how this new network Sala is referring to would
be different to either Best Bits or IGC?</div>
