Re: [ga] Webcast of Today's NC Meeting

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Dear Marilyn,

On a point of clarification, during yesterday's teleconference, I understood
you to say that you would be contacting Board Candidates with a view to
arranging a Teleconference with the BC, and/or submitting written questions
in due course. If that is correct, when might we expect this to be
forthcoming? 

I am also attaching a copy of a related post, just posted to the GA list,
which is self explanatory, and should also have been copied to my fellow
candidates.

Regards,
Joanna
