With respect to the Resolution 7, just as a correction, it is not a "possible PDP", but this is the required prelude to the required PDP. We the Council must initiate a PDP as soon as the final issue report is presented to the Council. There is no discretion for the Council here to refuse to initiate the PDP. It is automatic according to the Bylaws. Jeffrey J.
