Update re OVTRK, CCC Resilience Assessment and CERA research on NGOs

Kia ora Koutou!

• The OVTRK Organising Group gave feedback here on the Draft CCC Resilience Assessment report. 

We received the draft Assessment report by CCC Chief Resilience Officer Mike Gillooly very close to when feedback was due. 

There was no time to circulate to all on our OVTRK Register. 

As you can read we commented on our difficulty with that lack of time, as we have a strong commitment to being transparent.
