<DIV></DIV>Hi,
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for submitting the motion.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>My original planning for tomorrow's meeting had been to discuss the
report at this meting and then work our way toward a decision on a PDP at the
meeting on 31 Oct after the open comments. Would this be acceptable or
do you think we should vote on it as soon as tomorrow. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>In any case, as things currently stand in the bylaws we cannot do a
working group as the main vehicle in a PDP, but need to either use
a Committee of the Whole or a Task Force. We can create
Working Groups for other purposes and as spins-off to investigate specific
issues but until the by-laws are changed, not for PDP processes.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Please let me know if holding the vote on this motion until the open
meeting in LA is ok.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>thanks</DIV>
<DIV>a.</DIV>
