Dear Benjamin,

Tx you for this detailed answer. Very much appreciated!   It is exactly 
the type of detailed background, from an expert, that we need to proceed.

Let me ask some follow-up questions: /As someone deeply involved in this 
issue, are you happy with the 5 principles of the Continuous Improvement 
Program?  Are others from NCUC happy with the fairness of the 
negotiations and compromises?  Do they reflect good principles and 
protect all Stakeholders - are they something we can live with?
/

Like you, I hear about the new (draft) Holistic Review and am not sure 
how it is different (or overlaps with) the Continuous Improvement 
Project -- /do you have ideas for how we keep the two projects from 
overlapping and causing extra, overlapping or duplicative work our (and 
all) already busy Stakeholder Groups?
/

Also, could you or someone who has worked with you on the important 
issues over these past many months, a draft of a short new set of 
comments-- perhaps based on the January 2025 one you shared and 
addressing the newest questions.

You could lay out a path for NCSG to follow and we would very much 
appreciate it!

Best and tx,
Kathy
