Hi Chris, all:

The second is not the same with the single member model. As has been
outlined on list before, the different fiduciary duties situation that
exists with membership solves that problem.

On the first, the plan of the CCWG has been binding not advisory IRP so I
don't think that it is the same, no.

On the third, that does seem a sensible time frame constraint...

best
Jordan
