<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">In 2020, the DPO Fund Committee with the endorsement of the PDF Board commissioned a review which will be carried out between June to September 2020. Christina Parasyn, Independent Consultant, will
undertake the review in consultation with the community of stakeholders <b><i>who have been, are now, or could in future</i></b> be involved in the Pacific DPO Fund in some way. This survey will feed into Stage 1 of the review, Setting the focus and Scope,
which aims to find out from you what you would like to learn from the review.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">We <b><i>value cultural and traditional ways of communicating</i></b> and had planned for the review to allow us to meet face to face to share stories, experiences, and views. Unfortunately, the global
pandemic is forcing us to work in more remote ways, which means the <b><i>review needs to be done remotely for the safety and health of all of us</i></b>. This may include surveys, phone calls, video, and text applications. We will look for ways to have direct
dialogue with you if this is your preference.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
