Good afternoon; thank you for reaching out on this.  I had lost track on where we were.  Irrespective of where the WG work has moved; I still think there is real work to be done on the multi-year Framework; will non-MAG members still be able to have an input? 

Best

Nigel

    Hello,
    
    while this WG is not re-charted for 2019 (moved to the full MAG), I do think it is appropriate to follow up on this discussion ahead of this weeks MAG meeting. 
    
    I believe the only open question re the 'draft Programme Framework' is whether the graphic or the language (as Flávio suggested) should be updated.   Thoughts?  Has it been updated?

Another solution would be to complement the graphic with a more detailed explanation of the "MAG approval process", clearly stating that NRIs and DCs are autonomous in their internal works.
