Apologies for such a convoluted sentence -- I'm in the throes of packing 
for a trip -- especially as the short answer is "none of the above". 
Council asked me to pass on to you a request for Dot and Matthew to 
participate in the deliberations of your work group, which I duly did. 
Dot's comments are not particularly "official" and the Council as a 
whole has not yet formally reviewed your draft.  However,  I think the 
general tenour of  Dot's comments is in line with such opinions as have 
been expressed to date, which is one reason for wanting her (and 
Matthew) to be in a position to discuss them with you.
