G'day Geoff
Oooops, missed that one
Steve, could you live with this version? Please say yes! If not, could I
chat with you later today in Melbourne?
Other EC members, could you please vote ASAP?

Andrew-
Thanks for the fast turn-around. Comments as I look through it.
Slide 4: Good change Approved
Slide 7 Not wild about it still, but I can live with it
Slide 9 Please complete the change in last bullet
(i.e. from "status" to "recognition")
Slide 11: Good change Approved
So you are only one word away from my APPROVE vote.
Thanks,
Geoff
