I have one more point here. The one fear I have right now is that if there's a steering committee meeting at the outset of the Thursday meeting, and the remaining members of the committee have ideas or issues that the subcommittee may not have addressed, it could end up taking over a significant portion of the meeting. I hope that will not be the case.
I would invite feedback from all of the critics from the other parties. I think you all have my cellphone number, and I'm accessible at my P9 address. To the extent we can work this out informally going into that meeting, I think it will save all of us a major headache.
I have a slight preference to do this through committee business for that reason, rather than having a steering committee meeting and then having the whole committee having to revisit the decisions of the steering committee. Obviously we're going to need the preference of at least one other party to land on that. It's not my most important thing. I just want to solve this problem.
If folks are willing to chat with me over the next 48 hours, I would relish the opportunity to make sure that everybody knows what we're getting into from all perspectives in advance of that meeting, so we don't have things going off the rails on Thursday and we can make the most of our time we have for witnesses.
