Hi Elisa and Jared,

Regarding the agenda for the meeting in Seville, I wanted to raise two points:

1.  Could we please add a review of any changes to the Community Priority Evaluation Guidelines which staff is recommending based on public comment received?  It would be good to see these changes in redline before the meeting.

2. Regarding the agenda item for IO procedures, I have pasted below an email from IRT Meeting #173  and have bolded the relevant input.   Could you please be sure to address these two points in our meeting in Seville?

Thank you,
Anne

Thank you Elisa.  I reviewed the Zoom - good discussion and excellent points were raised.  Thank you to staff for your willingness to reconsider.    Agree that IO should be able to participate in remedies to address Objection before filing.  IO must always act in the public interest so there should not be a big COI risk in that process, although transparency safeguards seem appropriate as mentioned.    I also support what I believe to be Susan's comment that COI of the IO should be able to be raised with DRSP AFTER the filing of an IO Objection.  

 

Separately, for the next meeting, could you please consider avoiding the 4 am Pacific time slot?

Thank you,

Anne
