    <p>Hi Benjamin and anyone else who has been participating in this
      process,</p>
    <p>Often our leaders (and those who are following an issue) lead the
      writing of the comments. You are the ones who know what was
      discussed and debated, what tentative decisions and new proposals
      are controversial, and where are the rough edges that our comments
      can help to smooth.</p>
    <p>It is very difficult from someone completely outside the process
      to come in "cold" and draft comments.</p>
    <p><i>Benjamin, I ask you and others involved with the CIP CCG: 
        What do you like? What concerns you?  As people involved in this
        process, what issues would be helped by an NCUC comment?</i></p>
    <p>Best and many tx, Kathy</p>
