>>>> I had thought the purpose of the committee was, broadly, to find out how we could boost our image through the modification of wording and phraseology. As part of that, they would solicit bids from political image consultants to determine a cost of having them given their recommendations. I remember that during discussion there was talk of not having to accept the bids, or only accepting portions of bids, and that some work could be possibly done internally. The LNC would still have to approve any spending in that regard. And in my mind, I assumed that any recommendations, whether from paid or unpaid sources, would have to be run through APRC or the entire LNC prior to implementation.

>>>> I think clarification regarding the scope of this committee would be a good idea. I am personally in favor of a committee that works to fine-tune our messaging; that makes suggestions on using words and phrases that soothe, rather than scare, the public. These would be recommendations presented to the APRC and/or the LNC, and not implemented officially until approve is given from one or both of those.

Said agency will agree to present their findings to the public before December of 2017. The committee will take bids until the 10th of January.
