[ALAC] Community Priority Evaluations [Any Updates?]

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Dear Sala,

the ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) discussed this. One of my Action Items
was to contact the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and ask them about
the Community component of their panels. I reported that to-date, I
still have not received any reply or acknowledgement from the EIU.
With the lack of information, Heidi has been tasked to find out with
staff what is the progress of the CPE and will revert back to us, in
time for the monthly ALAC call which this month will take place on 28
January 2014.
Kind regards,

Olivier
