Backing up Ayden here....we are trying to be as transparent as possible 
here, but we cannot keep up with the drafting and we are here on the 
ground.  This is stacking up to be a highly political process, with set 
agendas from the parties and they are all preparing well.  We will not 
have time to reach community decisions and remain effective.  
Transparency is about all we can manage.

The next drafting team call is likely to be July 2-3, and we have to 
reach consensus.  There are a lot of issues which are already 
unfavourable to us.  So please keep your input coming, but time is 
against a robust consensus process at the NCSG level. You are going to 
have to trust your councillors.
