1) There are barriers to a competitive global LNG market including variations in inland transport regulation outside of North America that allow monopolies to control import contracts, transport, and distribution, preventing competitive access to consumers.
2) For a worldwide gas market akin to oil to emerge, regulation outside North America would need to shift to allow competitive access to consumers. Transport costs would also need to decline to make LNG more viable than local unconventional gas.
3) While LNG trade has grown significantly, the document argues it is unlikely an international gas spot market like oil will quickly develop due to these institutional and cost barriers.

2016
New
Director
of
The
Big
Draw
Reveals
STEAM
Powered
Agenda
Under
the
leadership
of
Kate
Mason,
arts
education
charity
The
Big
Draw,
creator
and
driving
force
behind
the
world’s
largest
drawing
festival,
has
revealed
its
STEAM
powered
agenda.
Kate
Mason
joined
The
Big
Draw
in
2013
as
deputy
director
with
a
remit
to
secure
the
long-‐
term
sustainability
of
the
charity.
She
was
appointed
Director
of
the
charity
on
1
July
2015,
following
the
long-‐planned
career
change
of
the
founder,
Sue
Grayson
Ford
MBE,
who
is
training
to
be
a
London
Blue
Badge
Guide.
Since
taking
the
helm
of
the
charity
in
an
increasingly
challenging
financial
climate,
Kate
Mason
has
secured
Arts
Council
England
funding
and
instigated
a
culture
change
informed
by
long-‐term
strategic
goals.
In
addition,
she
has
enlisted
support
from
new
trustees
and
ambassadors
and
relocated
the
charity’s
office
base
to
Trinity
Buoy
Wharf
in
East
London
–
the
Docklands'
quarter
for
the
arts
and
creative
industries.
Kate
Mason’s
belief
in
the
role
and
value
of
arts
within
education
and
her
support
of
the
STEAM
agenda
was
revealed
with
the
announcement
of
the
theme
for
the
charity’s
annual
international
drawing
festival,
which
takes
place
from
1-‐31
October.
The
2016
theme,
The
STEAM
Powered
Big
Draw
Festival
2016,
is
part
of
the
charity’s
campaign
to
give
the
arts
parity
with
Sciences,
Technology,
Engineering
and
Mathematics,
so
that
STEM
becomes
STEAM.
Kate
Mason,
director
of
The
Big
Draw,
commented:
“Reading
and
writing
are
key
and
help
shape
us
–
but
it
is
drawing
which
helps
us
see
and
explore.
There
are
many
languages
but
only
drawing
is
truly
universal.
Visual
Literacy
is
a
mode
of
thinking
that
helps
us
understand
and
navigate
the
world
around
us
and
is
a
vital
tool
in
an
increasingly
visual
and
digital
age.
This
‘mode’
deserves
greater
recognition
and
currency
–
I
hope
in
time
even
the
term
‘visual
literacy’
itself
will
become
more
firmly
embedded
in
the
mainstream
lexicon.
2. I
am
looking
forward
to
working
with
a
fantastic
team
of
staff
and
trustees
to
help
spread
the
word
that
drawing
changes
lives!”
Prior
to
joining
The
Big
Draw,
Kate
Mason
gained
20
years
of
experience
across
the
arts,
heritage,
cultural
and
creative
sectors.
A
skilled
strategist
and
cultural
broker,
she
brings
with
her
extensive
leadership
experience
in
public
advocacy,
organisational
change,
and
partnership
development.
Chair
of
The
Big
Draw,
Christopher
Goodhart
commented:
“Kate
Mason
comes
to
The
Big
Draw
with
an
extraordinary
background
in
arts
management,
and
has
already
demonstrated
during
her
time
as
deputy
director
the
tenacity
and
vision
which
will
help
her
guide
the
organisation
to
ever
greater
achievements.
The
trustees
and
I
are
delighted
to
have
her
leading
The
Big
Draw
as
we
enter
this
next
exciting
phase
of
our
development.”
Sue
Grayson
Ford
founded
the
Campaign
for
Drawing
-‐
now
The
Big
Draw
-‐
in
2000
on
behalf
of
the
Guild
of
St
George,
the
small
charity
which
celebrates
John
Ruskin’s
legacy,
and
steered
its
transition
into
an
independent
arts
education
charity
in
2006.
Having
developed
the
campaign,
The
Big
Draw
festival
and
its
international
reputation
over
sixteen
years,
Sue
commented:
“The
work
of
The
Big
Draw
has
never
been
more
essential
than
now
given
the
increasing
threats
to
arts
subjects
within
a
scientifically-‐biased
national
curriculum.
I
could
not
have
hoped
for
a
successor
–
better
equipped
by
both
exemplary
experience
and
powerful
commitment
than
Kate
Mason
–
to
lead
the
battle
to
demonstrate
that
children
and
adults
need
drawing
and
visual
literacy
to
meet
the
current
and
future
demands
of
our
society.”
Peter
Heslip,
director
of
visual
arts
and
London
at
Arts
Council
England
commented:
“We
are
pleased
to
be
able
to
support
The
Big
Draw
as
it
seeks
to
reach
more
people
across
England
and
encourage
them
to
participate
in
drawing,
particularly
through
The
Big
Draw
Festival.
For
the
last
sixteen
years
The
Big
Draw
(formally
The
Campaign
for
Drawing)
has
sought
to
epitomise
John
Ruskin’s
philosophy
that
art
is
intrinsic
to
society.
The
charity’s
work
around
the
STEAM
agenda
will
play
an
important
role
in
raising
awareness
of
how
visual
literacy
is
an
essential
part
of
the
cultural
education
that
children
and
young
people
should
have
access
to.”

Notes
to
Editors
The
Big
Draw
Founded
in
2000,
The
Big
Draw
(formally
The
Campaign
for
Drawing)
is
an
arts
education
charity
that
promotes
visual
literacy
and
the
universal
language
of
drawing
as
a
tool
for
learning,
expression
and
invention.
Through
a
diversified
programme
encompassing
advocacy,
empowerment
and
engagement,
the
charity
runs
events
such
as
The
Big
Draw
Festival,
educational
conferences
and
collaborative
research
projects,
awards
and
competitions.

The
Big
Draw
Festival
Launched
in
2000,
The
Big
Draw
Festival
has
encouraged
over
three
million
people
back
to
the
drawing
board.
It
has
notched
up
two
world
records
–
for
the
longest
drawing
in
the
world
(one
kilometre)
and
the
greatest
number
of
people
drawing
simultaneously
(over
7,000).
The
Big
Draw
has
transformed
national
museums,
Trafalgar
Square,
and
even
the
South
Kensington
underground
tunnel
into
dynamic
creative
spaces
enjoyed
by
thousands
of
people
for
a
day.
Every
year,
The
Big
Draw
Festival
includes
hundreds
of
drawing
activities
in
schools,
galleries,
museums,
libraries,
heritage
sites,
village
halls
and
town
squares.
In
2015,
the
festival
launch
took
place
in
10
leading
cultural
institutions
across
Oxford.
There
were
events
by
more
than
1000
organisers
on
seven
continents,
engaging
around
400,000
people.
The
2016
theme,
The
STEAM
powered
Big
Draw
Festival
2016,
is
part
of
the
charity’s
campaign
to
give
the
arts
subjects
parity
with
Sciences,
Technology,
Engineering
and
Mathematics,
so
that
STEM
becomes
STEAM.
