<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">I support allowing both hearings and cross-examination but both only in extraordinary circumstances along the lines we have been defining them these past several weeks, not
 as a matter of course or simple panel discretion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Discussions surrounding the IRP in WS1 were primarily to achieve two goals: adding substantive reviews at IRPs and making IRP final decisions binding. We realized we would
 need to tailor new procedural rules to take these changes into account but to my recollection we largely assumed that the IRP would retain its form as simplified arbitration aimed at quick and cost-effective outcomes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Annex 07 refers to an &#8220;efficient&#8221; IRP with a focus on &#8220;streamlined, simplified processes.&#8221; Both Annex 07 and the Bylaws provide that an IRP panel work expeditiously and should
 endeavor to issue a decision within six months. The Bylaws also provide that the panel will make a decision based solely on the documentation, supporting materials, and arguments.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Clearly the practical equivalent of a trial was not the chosen approach and we should not move to that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
