30 at which these items were discussed.) Thus, the points were raised, at a minimum, on November 30, 2017, January 17, 2018, and February 28, 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Regarding AOB</b>, I had previously raised issues in relation to topics discussed in Call #21 and was assured that these would be addressed in upcoming calls. A copy of my e-mail of January 17 concerning these issues is again attached.<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">In the plenary meeting on Monday, I requested that these issues be added to the agenda for the March 1 call. My concern is that the issues will be skipped.
It seems that a draft Initial Report is imminent. Thus, these issues should be raised for further discussion in AOB so that the work of the group on those issues can be accurately reflected in the draft Initial Report before it goes out for public comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Kurt Pritz objected to the “as much as feasible” language in the slides and stated “Additional technical evaluation should not retard or slow down applications….they should retain their place in queue and should not be penalized in any way from a timing standpoint.”
This issue should be raised for public comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

This is an important question for public comment in that the current policy requires such disclosure where as several in the group commented that they disfavor public disclosure of new services and favor the RSEP process. This also relates to Question 18
of the application. Three straw models were proposed and discussed. Friendly amendments were offered, but no final recommended model was adopted by the group. Will all three models go out for public comment?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
