Re: Draft # 4 of the UCLA and Request for Comments and Help
Date: February 20, 2008
Enclosed you will find Draft # 4 of the UCLA. I hope it captures the agreements made
during our robust discussions at our January meeting.
Here is what I ask of you:
Review Draft # 4, and send comments via e mail by Friday, March 7th preferably tied to
specific pages and lines of Draft # 4.
As we are not going to meet again before the first read of the Act, I would appreciate
your placing your comments into one of the following categories:
Category 1- Typo, technical or suggestion that I, as reporter, have discretion to make or
not.
Category2- Important change that must be incorporated for you to support the UCLA. I
will discuss all changes that you put in this category with Peter and Harry to decide how
best to proceed.
I plan to start work on the commentary while you are reviewing Draft # 4. I hope to
circulate Draft #5 and draft commentary to you by approximately March 24th. A final
version of the Act and commentary must be submitted to the Style Committee by April
21 st to qualify for first read in July.
Context for your review of Draft # 4:
I did do substantial editing and rewriting of Draft # 3 in the interests of clarity and
conciseness in incorporating the new provisions that we agreed to in January. I do not
think my rewriting changed the substance of what we agreed on.
Nonetheless, I do want to especially draw your attention to the following features of
Draft # 4:
(1) 1 added definitions of law firm, substantially related and tribunal. These
terms which were not defined in Draft # 3. These terms are, however, used
repetitively in Draft #4 and I thought it prudent both to define them and to do so
