2. Approves the approach outlined in paragraphs 39 - 44 of the report to seek a further three recommendations from the Cultural Celebrations Fund selection panel for grant awards to Black, Asian and minority ethnic event organisers to address their under-representation in the awards proposed in paragraph 1 above.
