Thanks Ines!
There is a reference to a "transition article" (Article 27) that seems
to be pretty crucial. Do you have any documents describing the
transition article?
I am also curious about the recommendation 10, "Representation on
the NomCom should be rebalanced immediately and then be reviewed
every 5 years." that was withdrawn. Can you help shed some light
on the discussion that led to the withdrawal of the recommendation?
