I was unable to attend last week’s call because a couple of other long standing Wednesday meeting commitments, unfortunately it looks increasingly likely I will unavoidable need to be elsewhere this week too and I have serious concerns with some of the proposals. I reviewd the AC chat recording from last week and I was very concerned to hear one of the co-chairs say he [personally] believed a proposal from an Industry Group should get an automatic entry into to initial report. If I remember correctly we had a similar problem with the IGO/INGO draft report where those driving the working group wouldn't listen and the resulting public comment period wasn't kind. The working group then had to waste a not inconsiderable amount of its time redrafting its report to correct that fundamental error. So what is the best way to ensure fundamentally flawed proposals are considered more fully before there is any expectation they will meet the initial report? Yours sincerely, Paul.
