RE: [dow2tf] Revised draft

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGCRP" <mcade@xxxxxxx>]

Having lived through multiple TFs before, we have to take seriously the need to examine a recommendation thoroughly before making it a consensus policy recommendation. This is the Interim Report, folks, for comment, right? We should note that we know there is a need for more complete examination. Also, as I stated before, I have mentioned my constituency's view that this deserves more exploration more than one time on the TF calls. I am not suggesting that we start another TF.  I am suggesting that the work needs to be done to examine this; it is possible it can be done in an Implementation working group effort.  But to fail to identify and recommend how to address these issues, or to at least acknowledge them makes the TF's work incomplete.

But wouldn't another task force, study or something be necessary anyway to
address the viability, cost, etc.?? The point is that until we have answers
to these questions, we really don't know if the concept (which is agreeable)
can become a roadmap or policy description (which needs to explored to see
if it can work).  

I'd like to adopt change that the concept needs more work or "exploration"
but I do agree with Jordyn that the goal of further exploration should be to
answer the unanswered issues noted, not have a multi-leg or redundant
process in place.

I also have a couple of edits I'll be forwarding shortly.

To all,

I believe that the former version reflected the discussions we had over the
past
month very good and therefore object against adopting the new changes.
My interpretation of the DOW is that this taskforce has to recommend a
solution
for the problems identified as in scope of the taskforce and not to refer
this
to yet another taskforce/steeringgroup whatsoever. Please correct me if I'm
wrong
but that is exactly what "a topic of further explanation" means to me.

Best,

tom
