<div>Thanks Thomas

<div class="">Let’s wait until Wednesday in case anyone objects to my suggestion then I will confirm the voting procedure. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Although I note the concerns expressed at the LoI stage voting being made public. I think it is important for the sake of transparency that we are open about the voting for or against the Dar proposal (open does not mean saying who voted, your
anonymisation process worked well IMO)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Cheers and thanks for being our recording officer<br class="">
