Hi John,

I agree that this would be burdensome on the public at large and
further reduce participation. I suggest it -only- as a step to be
taken for -AC members- proposing a policy. Because AC members operate
from a position of power within the policy development framework, the
extra step could help external folks get a word in edgewise before the
AC forms their initial views about a specific proposal in private
meetings.

I'm not wedded to the idea. I throw it out there as a suggestion.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
