--- "GBA office" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 16th April, 2008. Dear Charles, You will recall that GBA representatives walked out of the task force meeting held on the 14th because of the issue of the news item appearing in the press about minutes of meetings were not being circulated to the members of the Task force and the accusation against Ms Ritu Prasad that she had leaked out information from the Task Force to the Press on this subject. The fact that aspersions were cast upon the integrity of a member of the Task Force was most unfortunate, in view of the spirit of camaraderie with which the Task Force has functioned so far. I would like to express the dissatisfaction of the GBA at this unfortunate incident and I have been requested to convey this message to the Task Force, which I hope will be taken in the right spirit. The GBA has been co-operating fully with the Task Force with inputs on various issues, as the endeavour is to formulate a model Regional Plan, without harping on the many minor issues and irritants which might have cropped up. Further, as Convenor of the GBA, which is an organisation representing the people, I am required to be transparent about the proceedings and progress of the Task Force. Hence in order to avoid any speculations in the media, and in the interest of transparency, it would be advisable for the Task Force to circulate minutes of the meetings to the members and address the Press regularly. I really do not see any reason for the inordinate delay in circulating minutes of the meeting to the members of the Task Force. With regards, (Oscar Rebello) To, Arch. Charles Correia, Vice-Chairman, Task Force.
