Kevin has also been sent a copy of the CCGEE contract, which needs to be signed at some point before his start date.

Discussion about changing tasks approach to EC: We’ve been moving toward creating an inclusive and empowering EC culture, and along these lines Micknai would like to discuss a potential shift in how we divide up tasks according to roles within the EC. EC supported.
