<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Let me offer a little more on this, because I think Woody is raising a point I wasn’t being sufficiently sensitive to. The point I was trying to make was my efforts to get processes and procedures agreed as quickly
as possible were the right things to be doing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Woody’s point is that the practices and procedures should be proposed by the co-chairs, and I think that makes sense from a “form” standpoint. I’m just trying, again, to have something ready for that step as
quickly as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">What’s implied by this, I believe, is there’s no necessary relationship betw the Board selection of the co-chairs and the work I’m driving on the practices and procedures.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Specifically, if we’re comfortable having members volunteer for co-chair positions in time for the 9/20 Board meeting, as discussed, I think that would be good. I have no expectations for when the Board might
vote to approve the proposed P&P. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The net is I’m just trying to get the work of the WG going as fast as practically possible<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks for your clarifying insights, Woody<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sorry for the length of the attached, but I don’t believe there’s any way around it. I reviewed the OFA Bylaws and the IBTA Guidelines for suggestions as to how to identify the areas we touched on in our meeting yesterday, and additional
areas suggested by the Guidelines themselves.<o:p></o:p></p>
