<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yes in theory, but in practice I have mixed feelings about this. It is already tough enough for us to field 3 people. Do we have the resources to field 6 (and try to send them to the meeting, pay for participation in teleconferences, etc)?</FONT></DIV>

In this context, it is our view that nominating only one<BR>representative to each TF would result in excessive work-load for<BR>each chosen person. <BR><BR>Therefore, I would like to invoke the last sentence in PDP sec. 5(1)<BR>(i.e. "The Council may increase the number of Representatives per<BR>constituency that may sit on a task force in its discretion in<BR>circumstances that it deems necessary or appropriate.") and would be<BR>very grateful if you could advise on how this provison could be<BR>applied in the present case.<BR><BR>I hope this can be done as swiftly as possible without slowing the<BR>process of convening the TFs. It is our conviction that it would be<BR>both necessary and appropriate to allow for one or more alternates<BR>per task force as the adequate way to proceed.<BR><BR>Kind regards -<BR><BR>Niklas </FONT></DIV>
