to exchange best practices, lessons learned, as well as for sharing information and progress on a number of specific CCWG recommendations, namely, Recommendation 1.1 (on seven proposed elements of diversity), Recommendation 1.7 (on a process for handling complaints
about diversity), and Recommendation 2.3 (on a standalone framework for exercising Empowered Community powers). The CCG has started its work by focusing on recommendation 1.1 (on seven proposed elements of diversity) – see below. If there are any concerns
or comments about what is proposed below, please feel free to share so I can take this back to the CCG as the Council representative in this effort.

best use of group time and consultant efforts might be found focusing on how individual groups navigate implementation of elements in various situations. </span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
