+=+ Paul risks a false assumption here. Following
private exchanges during the preliminary drafting DWS
would present his draft to a meeting of the L&E where
discussion and adjustments would occur. Much of the
detail is not minuted. There may be more than one such
occasion. Typically he would then return with his final
draft to a further meeting at which the the opus would
be approved in its entirety for submission to the Board.
