Just a nit but... if the purpose of this recommendation is to provide
third-party expert advice to the Board, why are we still referring to it as
a DSRP?

Such a group is being asked to provide guidance on the legitimacy of
objections, not mediate/resolve between applicant and objectors. Or is it?
Let's be clear on the intent.

Also, this group may or may not be a paid group of experts; the reference to
"service provider" still connotes the kind of outsourcing that formed a
large part of my objection to the original process.
