<body><div>Thanks for that update Arsene. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you are adopting a new charter as well as everything else you mention, it looks to me like a long drawn out process which will go well into 2020. That may well be the best path forward, but I think in the circumstances it would be appropriate for this list to endorse a leadership group who will guide this process forward. I would like to feel that a step has been taken to ensure the list is happy with the directions being discussed and agreeable to a leadership group taking it forward. </div><div><br /></div><div>That would add a lot of credibiity IMHO. </div><div><br /></div><div>I won't be joining the call, but I think it is very important that it reports back to here, as Parminder and others have mentioned, and that steps forward are discussed here on list and endorsed. </div><div><br /></div><div>Ian Peter </div>
