"Some time ago, the board received a new draft of its future "board statement of responsibility".[1]

"It is worth noting that this is a very preliminary draft"[2]

"What Florence has now shared is the first draft of that document. We're not at a stage of voting on or signing this either."[3]

I interperted all the emphasis on "draft" to mean that it is negotiable. And of course my speculation about about how things might work and the approach I might try is, as always, just speculation.  I think I failed to fill up that last email with all the "I imagine" and "seems" that I normally go back and add.
