Just realised it’s 6 years since my first @ConTransNet int’l trip with you, @CherylSaunders1 - #Cebu #Philippines May 2017. You gave a great talk at the public forum on ‘Constitution in Comparative Perspective’ + we attended the PPSA conference. How much have we done since!

An outline of the next phase of the Chilean constitutional process. I hope that it has every success in finalising a Constitution that attracts broad support and works well for all Chileans. – at Melbourne, Victoria
After nearly 100 days of talks between political parties, an agreement was signed on Dec. 8. Chile will enter a new Constitutional process, with elections and a drafting body. However, this new body will be completely different from the previous one. chiletoday.cl/constitutional…
