I think we need to wait for the RFIs to come in. At this point, it would appear that little would need to be changed to meet the price points. Limitations such as NAF suggests in the number of complaints per fee sound reasonable to me. There have also been comments that requiring electronic submission might lower costs and that too sounds reasonable. So I see no reason to resist talking. It is structural changes that we need to be careful about.
I agree. Complaints-per-submission and method of submission sound more like mechanics than policy and I'm fine with discussing those, Indeed, I don't recall that such minutae was even considered by the STI as policy. If that was the case, do such non-policy-related changes even need to go back to the community? Why not just revise them and open a public comment process? If there is a review team to monitor the implementation change, it certainly demands At-Large involvement. - Evan
