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