To the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons of North America:

Most Worshipful Brother Chairman:

Most Worshipful and Right Worshipful Brethren:

It appears that the administrative problems with the Grand Lodge National de Françoise (GLNF) have been resolved. Other constitutional changes will be voted on in April of 2014. In the 2012 report of the Commission, it stated that a “reasonable course of action to consider is to suspend fraternal relations with the GLNF.” Based on the resolution of the administrative problems, member Grand Lodges may desire to reconsider that suspension.
