<p class="MsoNormal">The Pacific Institute Board has prepared the attached letter to submit as part of the current consultation process. We will submit a list of the members of the Pacific Institute together with the letter, in order to demonstrate the extent
of our membership, but will clarify that due to the limited consultation period we were not able to arrange for an endorsement process. If anyone is uncomfortable with this approach then please just email me directly.<o:p></o:p></p>
