[Fwd: Clarifications Regarding Staff Summary-Analysis of Stakeholder Group Charter Public Forum]

[Robin Gross]

Katitza,

I agree with your suggestion.  We can note in the letter all of the
names of the organizations and individuals who had previously
commented on this issue.  There seems to have been serious disconnect
between the facts of this situation and the "facts" that the board
members were given by staff.  The decision was entirely engineered to
have a single result and we need to show that.

Cedric,

Thanks very much for volunteering to take the first stab at drafting
this letter.  We can discuss it in more detail at the NCUC
constituency call tomorrow, so you know more specifics about what to
include in it.

Thanks,
Robin
