Hi George,

Maybe I can help (maybe not though)... I appreciate and agree that
there is a wider, more detailed ongoing conversation which likely
needs to continue around the shifting of policy you mention. However,
I think that the over-arching principles should be broad and general
enough that they do not need to shift very often if at all. This draft
policy, as currently written, would codify needs-based justification
as one of these over-arching principles. It would not set the details
of what that needs assessment looks like, what the criteria are, the
periodicity, etc. In that light, are you able to provide a yes/no
answer? No worries if not - I do understand that this is a nuanced
issue.

Thanks,
~Chris
