To share information in a consultative and deliberative process
through the exchange of communications (written, verbal, and or
visual) as they pertain to issues, problems or other subjects
mutually agreed to between the Parties;

To gain knowledge within each Party's organization about how the
other organization functions, including familiarity with organizational
