<p class="MsoNormal">Dear members of the IRP IOT:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you know, at this coming teleconference meeting (Thursday, March 2, 13:00 UTC) we will get into substantive review/consideration of the public comments to the draft supplementary rules.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Malcolm has kindly volunteered to lead us on the timing of claims issues that several comments touched on, including his own.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will (in my capacity as an IOT participant rather than as lead) help step us through a comment from Fletcher, Heald, and Hildreth P.L.C. that addresses challenges dealing with expert panel decisions and challenges to consensus SO Policy.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With respect to this “Fletcher” comment, I have created (1) some talking-point slides and (2) a document containing in one place specific draft language that this commenter suggests in a number of places in the comment. These are attached
FYI as an aid to our discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the way, these attachments represent my preferred method of approach – there is no requirement that anyone taking the lead in our consideration of a comment needs to create slides or other material – the only requirement is to help us
all consider the comment fairly and comprehensively. <b>And we still need volunteers to take the lead on comments.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
