<div dir="ltr">If there is a method to do a "group review" of comments that we can use effectively, I am open to that. At the same time, the most important task is to complete the drafting assignments so we can issue the draft Report on time. It is absolutely important to reflect Public Comment received, to date, in the draft Report. That is achievable if the drafters go through the public comments and select certain comments for citation as Alan noted. At this moment, I suggest that a full team review of comments, if feasible, occur after the draft Report goes out and before the Final Report is published. <div>

<br>
I do not think we are in great disagreement on this point.<br>
<br>
I beleive that a considered statement from the group that we looked at an issue and decided not to follow it up, as responding. I do beleive we need to be intentional about it. I do not beleive that every comment necessarily merits a recommendation, but it does warrant consideration.<br>
<br>
And no, I don't know when we are going to do it either. At this point I am still fretting over and working on, my massive load of homework.<br>
<br>
If it is any consolation I do not think there are many issue we did not discuss to some extent.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

> However, I must differ with one thing that you said. I appreciate that you used the phrase "make sure we have not left any of the community's comments unworked" instead of "each and every concern has been dealt with in the report", but I still feel that the word unworked is too strong. Any given ATRT is not oblidged to address every community concern. It must pick and choose, and some will be rejected for various reasons without any thorough research or discussion. Our effective communal bandwidth leaves us no option. So the purpose of any such walkthrough should be to ensure that on issues we have decided to take up, we have considered the perspective of the commenter, and for those we do not take up, we need to be satisfied that it is either not a true problem in our collective minds, or something that we have simply not had the time or energy to address.<br>

We have responded to many by focusing on issues and slicing and dicing the comment pool among the many smaller team efforts. But this mean that there may be some that fell through the cracks.<br>

>> I am not saying we should produce a comment-by-comment response report, we already decided not to as a group, though that is a decision I remain uncomfortable with. But we should at least do a 'walk through' the document to make sure we have not left any of the community's comments unworked. I think we will find in a walk through that many of not most will indeed have been covered, and we can just note in the walkthrough which recommendation covers the issue. but if we find an issue we missed, we need to make sure we have done the right thing with it. My previous email about the recent perceived as unilateral Staff actions is one example where I do not feel I could adequately answer the question: how have you dealt with this comment? And in BA, I expect we will be asked questions exactly like that. We will need to have answers. We will need to do better than: "well, you know, what can I say."<br>

I want to make sure that we are not aiming at this self imposed end of year deadline in such a hurry that we don't get the whole job done.<br>
