Olof, I thought it was General Counsel advice re "within scope"? The flow
chart says "staff manager".  This is helpful to see, and I probably will
have some questions regarding how best to revise the timelines for this
particular PDP, given the complexity. 

We also should be considering how we propose to modify the PDP timelines and
processes so that they are flexible and allow for development of a time line
suitable to each policy issue. Some will be shorter than others, for
instance, and some may take multiple years, such as IDNs.

Tom (and all),
Realizing that Visio isn't necessarily widespread, I've converted the
flowcharts (t6here are three pages) to one PDF file, hoping that it will
come out all right on your side :-)
Regards
Olof

Olof, all,

I support Marylins wording as well and want to urge the council to have this
document published as soon as possible. Only one month is already short 
enough we do not have to shorten it by any delay on our side.

To your pdp-flowchart. I could'nt open it due to some version problems.
Could you please resend it in another format like .gif or .jpg.

I wish you all a happy and successful new year.

Best,

tom
