(iii) The Computer-Aided Transcriptionists
The proceedings of the Commission of Enquiry were recorded and transcribed
verbatim by a dedicated and proficient team of reporters. We are indebted to
Ms. Joyce James and her team of transcriptionists who produced the daily
transcripts, amounting to more than 15,000 pages
.
(iv) The Media
Reports of the proceedings of the Enquiry were carried daily in the Gleaner and
Observer newspapers and on television. We are grateful to those media houses
for the coverage which enabled the public to follow the Enquiry. Above all else
we thank the Jamaica Information Service for providing the electronic feed that
facilitated the daily broadcast by the media houses, and JNN for filling the breach
in the singular absence of the JIS.
(v) Authors of Memoranda of Recommendations
In an effort to involve the wider public in the work of the Commission, we invited
members of the public to submit memoranda of recommendations. We received
memoranda from 13 persons and organisations – see Appendix 4. We are,
again, extremely grateful to those persons for their public-spiritedness and the
quality of their recommendations which have been very helpful to us.
