          <p>Hi Rafik,<o:p></o:p></p>
          <p>The way I understand it, we are only looking at whether the
            bylaws adequately reflect the principles in the final
            proposal, that the chartering organisations agreed to. This
            does not involve a substantive discussion itself, as that
            has been closed. However, if anyone thinks that the
            articulation of the bylaws haven't quite captured the
            accountability-enhancing recommendations agreed upon in the
            final proposal, then this is the perfect place to raise
            these concerns.
            <o:p></o:p></p>
