On Friday afternoon there is scheduled time for you to work on the Lobby exercise. This may help since you all have different and busy schedules but each group is of course free to choose when to do the exercise work.

The groups A1 and A2 (like all other Xi) have now been merged and the rest of the exercise you will work in the groups A to J (plus the special groups Industry association and Ministry).

The first task is to go through the calculations once more to make sure everything is correct and then to decide on your company*s preferred instrument. Please document what you see as your top 3 instruments and explain why. You might also note if there is any instrument you find unacceptable.

After this step, discuss your lobbying strategy and then write the report and prepare the powerpoint presentation.

Good luck and hope you enjoy this exercise.
