I didn't think that we could vote on telephone calls.

I request that the straw-man vote should be held at the interim meeting in April.

We should review the proposals and reasoning materials on the call and allow everyone to process the presented positions ready for a straw man vote at the face-to-face in April.

Regards

Tim
