actually it was offered as a way of avoiding the need to introduce the
volumes of extra detail implied by Becky's paper.

Becky's paper does helpfully identify a considerable number of issues
that will need to be addressed sooner or later - and I don't think it's
even exhaustive. If we don't want to add huge amounts of new detail now,
and we don't create some form of community power to develop the IRP as I
suggest, how do you suggest we ensure those issues ever get resolved?
