[Eg-oversight-board] Outstanding action items and a few questions

[Sharon Herbert]

Hi Grace,

I think very difficult to justify the time and expense to travel from  
Vancouver for a meeting, unless it was of a very critical nature. But  
happy to join via teleconference or other means.

thanks,
Sharon
