On 6 March, 2009, the chairperson of the National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) wrote to my predecessor on behalf of the Board of the NCCRI. In the course of that letter, the chairperson stated that that body is currently in the process of winding down. She also conveyed a number of recommendations on behalf of the Board regarding the need to continue to focus on addressing racism and promoting interculturalism. These recommendations will be borne in mind in the future work of my Office in this area.
