There has been criticism of the work of the drafting team because it was viewed by some as not following the proper process. Under the flexibility of the new PDP rules, this PDP could certainly do the work of analyzing the public comment, and developing the response to the Board request for the Council to consider by the deadline. The issues are the same, so it would seem redundant to have two groups working on this topic simultaneously. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>We envision that the two sub-teams work in parallel, and would not be mutually exclusive.
