Thanks Jordyn for putting this together.  Hope everyone's travels to NZ were 
uneventful.

Jordayn, I see these slides as a continuation of Vancouver, and appreciate 
the updating you have done.  That said, I strongly object to the line on Slide 
8 
(Status of Work).  "âRecently concluded public comment period.  Received 
approximately 45 responses; most favored Formulation #2"

I think this leave a very incomplete impression.  If we wanted to say that 
"strong comments were submitted by both sides, with leading organizations 
weighing in for both formulations."  that would be fine.  

Or if we wanted to take the following lines line from our Final Report, that 
would be fine too:
       "The comments show a division in the community, with 9 respondents 
expressing support for Formulation 1 and 33 respondents supporting Formulation 
2. 
 A number of the comments supporting Formulation 2 featured similar 
argumentation and structure which may be the result of one or more 
constituencies 
encouraging participation and responses during the public comment period."

It's a long sentence, but it is accurate and already agreed upon and 
published. 
(and the issue is worthy of a little extra space and discussion).

Thanks, Kathy
