Dear Toby and all,
The reason I included the in-person option is that as indicated in
Gillian's draft we should not rule it out. Also, retaining the option
doesn't necessarily mean that we must hold it in person. However, I have
no strong view in this regard, and I am happy to go along with Toby's
suggestion.
Best, Iftekhar.

> 1)	I think we need to assess Tunde's proposal to allocate all of the seats
> regionally. This has the advantage of strong regional balance but the
> weakness of introducing significant rigidity into the elections. On
> balance, I would prefer a system with some 'floating' seats (say about
> three) and with a bit more regional allocation, basically along the lines
> Tunde suggests.
>
> 2)	Re. Eric's point about why coordinate, for me this flows from our
> objectives and I do not see the need for further elaboration here (but see
> my next point).
>
> 3)	I agree with Eric's 2nd and 3rd points. I think it is particularly
> important that we define carefully not only the process for making
> statements in the Coalition's name, but also the scope of such statements,
> which in my view needs to be carefully circumscribed, so as to avoid a
> situation where we lose members because they do not agree with our
> statements.
>
> 4)	I agree with everything Iftekhar says, except his reference in (his
> new) point 2(b)(2) to the idea of in-person meetings. I suppose that most
> of the time these meetings will be virtual, and not in-person.
