Hi, I think a prioritization exercise is a good idea, but I am not sure that now is the time for it. It might be a great thing for the new bi-cameral council to take on as part of its initial work especially given its role as a manager of the policy process. I also believe that it is part of the policy strategy process that is also required by the 'improvements' plan. One of the problems with prioritization that I would flag, is that there always needs to be consideration of the interrupt driven work which often ends up the most critical and goes to the top of the list. a.

My concern is prioritizing at the Council level. Managing the policy process should include some consideration of time and resource management. That will naturally allow Staff to prioritize, or as Philip suggested, allow us to direct Staff appropriately on priority of the work we've asked for.
