             I propose to treat this as a reply from a team leader (Wenner and 
             Dudley are not close!), but neertheless put it into the process

             Dear Kit,
             
             Mike Dudley will need to give you the UK representative reply. I 
             can
             give you a personal, professional reply, and as Leader of the 
             Team on
             Participation on my perceptions of the working and benefits of the
             Joint Committee - one of the alliances you refer to.
             
             This Committee is my view an essential forum for the promotion of 
             best
             forest practice in the ECE area. It would be even better if it was
             even better attended, and even better interacted with by the 
             different
             forest services and forestry interests. Nevertheless its being 
             allows
             a response and support for work on subjects of key interest which 
             do
             not appear to be taken forward in any other way.
             
             Its work would be even more effectively undertaken if there was 
             more
             financial support to co-ordinate and help deliver the work of the
             Teams, as part of a European wide forestry committment. Currently 
             I
             would see sustainable forest management being most actively taken
             forward in a better social dialogue. A number of key areas need 
             to be
             addressed and implemented on the ground for this to happen, one of
             which is better exchange on current country practices and 
             perceptions.
             
             I hope these comments are useful.
             
             Very best wishes
             Miles Wenner
