+ 1 Avri and Greg and agree this needs to be addressed before we

Personally, I don't endorse this position (though it does
raise some concern about the ability of the panel to deal with
PTI failures, if it is designed to be a bylaws court. That
said, I have sufficient faith in the skill of experienced
arbitrators to be able to resolve a variety of disputes.)</div>

<br>
I am uncomfortable with closing the discussion of the new
principles for<br>
the IRP. Since we decided not to create a new entity to
serve the<br>
requirements of the CWG but rather to make it a function of
the IRP, we<br>
need to make sure that the basis for the IRP is fit for
purpose before<br>
starting on its implementation.<br>
<br>
The CWG calls for:<br>

><br>
<br>
I do not see how to define this function in terms of By Laws
alone as By<br>
Laws have little to say about negotiated SLAs and the
customers' or CSC<br>
complaints. Perhaps it can be done by changes to some of
the By Laws,<br>
but I do not see us as having scoped out what those changes
need to be.<br>
<br>
So until such time as we have dealt the the policy issues of
filling the<br>
CWG's requirements, I would like to register a personal
caution, and<br>
thus an objection, to closing the discussion of the basis
and standing<br>
for IRP appeals. I do not believe this is merely an
implementation<br>
issue. At least not yet.<br>
