I'll make a special dull one available on request, then.

I require open, honest, informative and timely. I do not need to be patronised. Diana -----Original Message----- From: Mcsean, Tony (ELS) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 14 July 2006 12:34 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Observations on the Lis-Cilip decision One change that is under discussion is that I should write a short and breezy "view from the chair" summary of council business which would go into Update. I couldn't do it for the last meeting because of unusual pressure of day-job work but it's on the cards. I'd be interested to hear people's views on this (which could be extended to other standing committees) on- or off-list. It will make a change from the 50 out of office messages that will fall like tropical hail when I hit SEND in a second.

One easy, quick and inexpensive solution would be to use the website to provide much more information about Council, Exectuive Board and committee proceedings. At the moment all one can see is the most minimal information, the minutes, without any of the papers presented, and these only appear months after the meeting.
