Dear Natalie,
 Thank you for your email
At this stage it is envisioned that there could be two levels of
participation with the working party:
1) Core members including Councillors, Staff and invited representatives
that would sit on the Working Party throughout. Possibilities for
invited members include representatives from Sustainable Otautahi, The
Natural Step and the Sustainable Business Network.

2) People that are invited from time to time to provide their
perspectives and specialist knowledge etc.
This could include representatives from the various stakeholders
referred to in the Terms Of Reference, for example:
Central Government agencies - environment, health, energy, economic
development etc
Crown Research Institutes - Landcare Research, National Institute of
Water and Atmospheric Research etc
Environment Canterbury
Enviro-Schools Organisation
Sustainable Living Organisation
Project Port Lyttelton
Lincoln Enviro-town Organisation
Universities - Canterbury and Lincoln

Payment for either core members or invited people has yet to be decided
on.
I hope this is helpful.
Regards
