Agree.  While I think he has some sense of what we’re about already, given prior discussions, it’d be good to lock it the desired framing.  And to invite him to Constituency Day.<br>

Unless my memory is foggy this morning we were not in uniform agreement on these points, so if there’s time to get into them it maybe qualified them as “some members are concerned that..”.</div>

<br>
Also, and while I largely agree with this, what is the point of bringing this up?  Are we asking for some review of the Accountability mechanisms?  Are we asking him  to keep an eye on their possible collusion?   If I were Goran I would say - and so what do
 you think should be done about this?  <br>
