[t is not clear whether some of these have been deleted because the authors of Draft 2 disagree with them as policy goals, or whether they are believed to be incorporated in other policies. The Council should make it clear when voting on various proposed policies whether it is a matter of disagreeing with them or that they are stated in other words, and if they are, make sure that the intent of the policy is retained.
