The requirements of the PDP are very clear. I think its time we get back 
to relying on the processes defined in the process. After constituencies 
have weighed in on a policy proposal, such as the one that staff is 
pulling together from the mess that was put forward by the WG and the TF 
report, the Council is required to determine whether or not the proposal 
merits a policy recommendation to the board.

If you believe that the policy proposal does not merit a recommendation 
to the board, then I would presume that you would vote against it and 
then recommend that the Council study the issue further in an attempt to 
better understand the issue. At the same time, my constituency will do 
the same, and likely recommend that Council proceed along the lines I've 
laid out in my motion.

I believe this is what Avri has outlined for us. What is the harm in 
following our bylaws and the work plan laid out by our chair?
