Council

I’m going to be a bit cross-wise here.

To be honest, I’d rather see us working on a “gated process” to begin moving TLD applications forward, even if it is only going to be 1 or 2 per month. Until we start accepting and processing the TLD applications, we have no real idea what requirements for staff and the associated timelines will be. Getting the application process moving seems key to me…

Working on yet another set of processes that will take considerable time to sort out for “dis-advantage” (meaning is open to me anyway) applicants would only seem to add to the initial opening of the TLD process. ??

Just my thoughts, please feel free to return other options/opinions; I’m very interested in hearing them.

Take care

Terry

I am not sure that helps the discussion.

It is frustrating as a councillor and professional with limited time to have to keep poking...

Can you please elaborate as to why this is not a friendly amendment.
