<p dir="ltr">Since these conversations took place outside of the meeting, they should not alter the official meeting record. I am particularly concerned by the change in wording regarding the conflict of interest issue, since the new wording puts a very different slant on the problem than the original did, and on what I witnessed Tanya say during that meeting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would be willing to consider an addendum to the record only if it is approved by Tanya, but I am opposed to any change of the original wording.</p>
