RE: [ga] Individuals' Constituency Task Force Member

["McMeikan, Andrew" <andrew.mcmeikan@mitswa.com.au>]

I would also support that other nominations be sought, although I can not
think of anyone better suited than Joop for this.

I think that rejection of IDNO previously is not so much aimed at Joop than
a wish that such independent positions do not get expressed.

Joop has my support, but if anyone else fits the bill then we should get
their name up as well so that the most informed and open decision can be
made.
