Dear Ezra Thanks for your response. I enjoyed the long break. The new Government is in place, see the new Cabinet in the link http:// www.stlucia.gov.lc/ The Chairman of the Metrication Board and I have met with the new minister of Commerce, Business Development, Investment & Consumer Affairs, Miss Emma Hippolyte to brief her on the metrication project. The consultancy report is now in her possession. In the interim, I am in the process of preparing a 'working document' of 'policies' adopted by various countries in their metrication process. I have been able to pick up some from the UKMA report "A very British Metric"; Australia and Jamaica. I would welcome some from the USMA if that information is readily available. Policies with respect to the implementation of 'hard metric conversion' within various sectors would be particularly helpful.

Dear Ezra How are you? I resumed duty yesterday having gained some additional time off for which I had worked.
