CoMin's response to the Scope report setting-out eight guiding principles, follows an extensive public consultation.
It will be presented to Tynwald this week.
Report author Robert Quayle says their key recommendation has been taken on board:
RNLI volunteers call for 'honest reflection' over 'decade of decline'
