______________________________________________________________
27 The purpose of Clause 11.9 is to ensure continuity from the Board's perspective of the individuals within the Project Co management structure during the construction phase. The Clause is intended to address only individuals working for Project Co and not to extend to the Contractors' employees, which is an issue for Project Co to manage. The extent and identity of Project Co's key Works personnel will need to be addressed on a project specific basis, in the light of the actual management structure proposed by Project Co.  In particular, the standard form assumes that Project Co will have a key link person to act as intermediary between Project Co and the Board.  If this is not the case, Boards should consider extending the rights set out in Clause 11.9 down to the contractors' personnel.
