John, I have two corrections as shown in red b Anne Aikman Scalese, NCA Non-Voting,   The Board letter is helpful, especially given the Board readiness work done over the past year.  It appears the Board believes the four elements identified in its letter are in scope for Supplemental Recommendations.  As the Council Supplemental Recommendations Team deliberates, Council needs to be careful to avoid separating out certain issues since SSAD Recommendations were a package and were non-adopted as a package.  We would not want to see the Supplemental Recommendations rejected by the Board because of elements being separated.

Anne Aikman Scalese, NCA Non-Voting, will look at the document. The form to be used asked the nature of request to Council. One box to be checked is the box relating to a request for new policy.   She noted that a request related to new policy, even if time sensitive, should never be the subject of a 72 hour turnaround time at Council based on a negative response mechanism.  For a policy concern, 72hrs should not be applicable.
