(Please note: The minutes of the February meeting of the ILC were agreed on at a meeting which was not quorate. Due to reduced attendance at meetings, informal update meetings were held in June and October 2012 for those members still attending. In May 2013, the Terms of Reference were revised to reflect the fall in membership and agreed by those still engaged with the ILC. An open meeting was held in September 2013 to encourage wider membership and, by agreement between all present, minutes are now being published online again. An updated list of members can also be found in this section.) - ILC minutes of meeting 21st December 2011
