Paul, Thanks for staying on top of this. We do need that small group to bring something back to the full WG ASAP so that if the co-chairs decide it needs public comment we can hopefully close that 21-day period by the end of September and not have to submit another Project Change Request (ugh). Back in late July, Mary told us, “a PDP Working Group also has the ability to post interim items for public comment that it believes “will benefit from further public input” – this may be an option where there is a need to resolve specific, concrete items during deliberations on a Final Report. You will therefore not need to wait for there to be a full draft report to exercise this option (though staff advises that any such items should be consolidated and posted as a single public comment proceeding and not on a piecemeal basis).” My own view would be that we should seek public comment where we have a substantially new proposal that could have a material effect on the community or portions thereof.

I don’t think merely trying to work this out on the list is what we need. Can you please send out a doodle and try to get us together as early as possible next week so that we don’t have to ask the co-chairs for an extension on our report date? Thanks much!
