Jeff,<br>

I think that I said &quot;_if_ there is no evidence, then .... &quot;&nbsp; or I certainly meant to say it.&nbsp; OK, if there is evidence then I guess there are two directions to consider.&nbsp; The first is to apply it to an issues list, as the group has done, and to build a more
 complete picture of what is going on, resulting eventually in recommendations for change.&nbsp; The second is to address the issues more directly by responding directly to staff questions so that there can be mutual understanding and at least partial resolution
 of the negative effects presented by the evidence.&nbsp; These aren't alternatives, but can be mixed in various ways.<br>
<br>
By not feeding evidence, however depersonalized, back to staff by engaging in a dialogue suggested by the questions that the staff asked of the group, IMHO the group misses an opportunity to achieve better understanding on both sides, which could positively
 inform any recommendations that the group might make.&nbsp; That is the group's decision to make.<br>
