A wording problem was brought to my attention regarding the statement 
that is currently undergoing a vote. I have reviewed the statement 
again and must admit that this slipped by me the first time.

The 4th point currently reads:

4. The ALAC recommends that an ongoing observation of this new IRP 
Supplementary Procedures is performed to foster the continued 
improvement exercise for the benefit of end users.

I find the wording awkward, and it conflicks with the closing remarks 
which correctly say that users are only affected indirectly.

I am proposing that instead we say:

4. The ALAC recommends that as we gain experience with these new 
procedures, there is ongoing monitoring ensure continued improvement.

I have discussed this with Leon who authored the statement and he has 
no problem with it.

If anyone has a concern with this, please let me know immediately. At 
this point, only six people have voted. If any of them wish to alter 
their vote, that is fine.
