 Guys,                                                                      
 We had a very lengthy discussion yesterday on the above matter and the     
 outcome of the OC deliberation. While there was no adverse comment on the  
 proposed figures, HR have been asked to relook into our proposal as what   
 they have presented yesterday was just a reproduction of our proposal.     
 They have been directed to come up with the final report by next OC, i.e., 
 on Thursday 12/10. Pls refer msg below from VP and Oc secretariat.         
                           
 ... I know you guys are eager for something really positive, but just give  us sometime. We hope to conclude our discussion with HR and Engg Mgmt by    early next           week                                                 
                                                                 bgds..

 To: President, AMALAE.                                                     
                                                                            
 Re OC meeting today, our phone conversation and also the 3-hr long         
 meeting we had just now on the package proposed by AMALAE.                 
                                                                  This is to re-affirm OC's stand that they:                                
a) recognize that the situation requires a very urgent and important      
   decision,                                                              
b) agree that the solution entails a revision of the current salary       
   structure in order to discourage further LAE resignation,              
c) want the package to take into account incentives & rewards             
   which are based on activity, productivity and performance,             
d) have requested that HR mgmt, Engg mgmt and AMALAE to immediately       
   negotiate the terms based on those criteria                            
e) have asked for the outcome of the negotiation to be presented          
   to OC by next week, 12 Oct 2000 for a decision.                        
                                                                          
I call on all AMALAE members to please bear a little longer as            
a decision on matters such as this must not be done in haste.             
                                                                          
Thank you for your understanding.

 With reference to the OC 101 meeting held this morning and our subsequent   
 telephone conversation please find below the record of OC discussion on the 
 above matter.                                                               
                                                                             
 1.  NOTED:                                                                  
                                                                             
     i.      AMALAE's proposal on the above and acknowledged that the        
             matter needs to be addressed seriously                          
                                                                             
     ii.     Reiterated comments made at last OC 100 meeting held on 28      
             Sep 00 that the proposal needs to be based on productivity and  
             performance and to be mapped to the framework that has been     
             adopted for the Company                                         
                                                                             
     iii.    It would be necessary to study AMALAE's proposal closely and to 
             reframe it as per the above                                     
                                                                             
     iv.     In doing this, the study is to take into account all comments   
             and inputs made by the OC                                       
                                                                             
 Thank you.
