In reply to Phil Corwin, 
this letter has been produced at Council level prompted by an individual
Council member.
The presumption of a need to abstain is based on my experience and knowledge
of the issues
and the historic position of BC members. That is why I asked the BC members
to validate the
presumption !

For the record (speaking as AIM) I support abstention on grounds that a
Council reply is not
needed as the Board is to reply. Why upset government when they can be your
ally?

Philip
