<div style="margin-left:0.5in">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Thanks for your note and for your points on where we are this week. The email that Bruce forwarded was a summary of some of the actions (not all) anticipated this week, excerpted out of a
much longer discussion of the final stages of the process; that we have all been working toward. We didn’t attempt to set out all the assessments that would be going on by staff, by Sidley, by Adler, by the Bylaws coordination group and others who have been
so dedicated to this process throughout, like yourself and the group that you represent in this process.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left:0.5in">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">As we are well aware it was expected that this would be a period with very short deadlines in which to provide meaningful analysis of the public comments. Staff’s summary and assessment
will be forwarded to the community as soon as we have completed it. This summary/assessment can be reviewed by the Bylaws Coordination Group (along with Sidley and Adler), and a determination can be made if additional work is needed beyond that. We agree that
a call with the Bylaws Coordination Group would be useful this week.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left:0.5in">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Let’s be certain though, that no one is proposing that we skip over the comments, not take them seriously or not provide bylaws responsive to those comments or with sufficient analysis to
allow their approval based upon the community’s proposals and any new issues raised within those comments. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left:0.5in">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">From what we have seen in the comments, Staff’s assessment so far (but we will look to Sidley, Adler, to help assess also) is that -- many of the comments are in line with the proposals or
are capable of being resolved in this current stage of the process. Some of the comments are seeking variance to the proposals, and some of the comments are stressing the importance of WS2 items.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left:0.5in">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Some of the comments provided specific recommended line edits, and those must be carefully considered, to see if the changes are required to enhance the implementation of the proposals or
understanding of the Bylaws, or if the language posted for public comments sufficiently meets the intent of the proposals.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-left:0.5in">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Accordingly, let’s not give up on the long proposed tight deadlines at this point. Together, let us see if we can get this done, with all due consideration by those necessary to ensure that
we are acting consistent with our promises to the community and to the Commerce to deliver these Bylaws fully reflecting the community’s inputs and request for empowerment and change.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
