Right, as I replied to Jeremy previously, I missed that message (apparently was not alone in this).  So assuming the set-up process was per the charter, the outstanding questions would pertain to just the subsequent conduct, e.g.

The Chair's pending report could fill in the gaps this time and then going forward we could agree on which bits are supposed to happen prior to the announcement of selections.
