Hi All, I have now reviewed a number of the comments, as I hope you have. As discussed in an earlier email, I think there are other topics we should be looking at in the sub-teams based on the outpouring of responses from companies, organizations, and especially thousands of individuals. My thought is not to create additional sub-teams, but to assign additional topics to sub-teams (so the sub-teams remain diverse and well-staffed).
I certainly support this approach. On last week’s call, I expressed some concern regarding whether or not using sub-teams would actually be of benefit in terms of time-management of the public comment review. Marika’s suggestion on a process to handle this at the end of the call seemed interesting to me, and could actually work out quite well. I also believe, as Kathy has pointed out that further topics will need to be systematically reviewed and addressed during the review. Distributing those among the three sub-teams already suggested would, IMHO, be a better approach rather than creation of new ones specifically for the reasons Kathy has mentioned. The ability to populate the sub-teams with diverse volunteers will be very helpful in time-efficient management of the review. Having too many sub-teams will likely defeat that purpose. Thanks. Amr
