For information and discussion Sean: what happens when pdp is adopted by board? we consulted with community, and staff. lots of discussions with GRC. we arrived at a lightweight framework for pdps to be monitored during the implementation. how can council adjust and evaluate? 2 parts: * actual policy itself * background. not easy to read, but important to have both docs together. it explains the thought process works well for pdp3. let’s see about pdp4. non-english speaking members of the community. see also discussion regarding item 18, and the potential results of the gap analysis. Jordan: PDP proposal not yet on wiki? 20.
