Work starts on refreshing the Compact
Apr 23 2009 A Refresh Panel of experts on the Compact will be meeting in May and June to oversee the drafting of the refreshed Compact. There will then be a three-month consultation period over the summer after which the final version will be drafted. We hope to launch the refreshed Compact during Compact Week in November.
