I do not know if Sec. 8 has ever been used, but it seems to me to make sense in this situation, where we have already done a lot of factfinding, and the adverse effects of this activity have been ongoing and increasing for two years. I honestly don’t think any working group or a task force is needed at this point. I think the situation warrants multiple, prompt measures to impede commercial domain tasting, and now I see that the PDP gives another option which seems to fit well in this circumstance. So, I would like to propose a different motion, please.</SPAN><O:P style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "></O:P></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" arial","sans-serif";="" font-family:="" arial;="" font-size:="" 13.3333px;=""><O:P style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" arial","sans-serif";="" font-family:="" arial;="" font-size:="" 13.3333px;=""><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; ">If 1/3 of the Councilors vote for a PDP on this per Section 4, then Council has two options. One option is a task force detailed in Section 7, the other option is ‘collect information’ for Council deliberation per Section 8. As we have already collected a lot of information, I think this would mean further gathering of formal Constituency Statements within 35 days, then issuance of a Staff report 15 days later which combines those Statements with the Report of the ad hoc Group and the original Issues Report, and any other information desired and obtained in the meanwhile. That report would issue for 20-day public comment, then Council would deliberate and make recommendations to the Board within 15 days from then. </SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV class="Section1"><P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" arial","sans-serif";="" font-family:="" arial;="" font-size:="" 13.3333px;=""><O:P style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "></O:P></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" arial","sans-serif";="" font-family:="" arial;="" font-size:="" 13.3333px;=""><O:P style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:" arial","sans-serif";="" font-family:="" arial;="" font-size:="" 13.3333px;=""><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; ">That should be sometime in January, whether we vote on it tomorrow or in LA, and with some slippage in the schedule.
