<P>Sometimes I would agree, Avri.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>But in this case, I am not clear on what this would serve. I think we have met the 
responsibility for public comment on this policy.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;Unless you are thinking that this would offer another chance for more 
organized, coherent, and thoughtful statements that the Council would need to take into 
account? </P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>How would that work, given the state of the policy process we are in now? 
</P></DIV>
