1 DR. AURAND: If I was to read this as a decision maker, I would 



2 want to see something where you told me what canyons were like. I would 



3 want to see something where you said something about what it was you 



4 were analyzing, not in detail, just we're going to look at what is in 



5 cuttings, whatever. 



6 I would want to have a discussion of what the impacts you thought 



7 might happen were, your conclusions about what those impacts might or 



8 might not do, any need that you identify through this process that 



9 restricted your ability to reach consensus on conclusions. 



10 If there are any majority dissenting opinions from the majority, 



11 then they should be appended, as well. I think those are reasonable 



12 things to put in there. Whether you want to go right down that list and 



13 write the five things, and include it as a second part of this or 



14 whether you want to change that list or whatever, the question was: 



15 What do you expect to get out of it? I'd love to see that, personally. 



16 Jim? 



17 MR. LANE: What we were really trying to accomplish, and we 



18 originally scheduled three days to do it, was to write the proceedings. 



19 That is a good outline of the proceedings we would expect to go into 



20 this. This is why we also brought so much support on site in terms of 



21 personnel and very highly qualified rapporteurs. 



22 DR. AURAND: There is a rational for doing that, too, and then I 



23 think we need to break for lunch and decide when we are going to come 



24 back. 



25 When you try to write the proceedings independently, we would send 



26 a copy of it to everybody and ultimately, we would not have the 



27 interchange over the edited document that you can have if you see 



28 something as a group that you can discuss. What we are looking for is 



29 the discussion and consensus, and that's the important part. 



30 The only way we know how to do that is to put you all in a room 



31 with the people who are writing and let them produce it as fast as they 



32 can so that you can see where this is all going. 



33 Is it reasonable to get back together at 2:00 o'clock? 



34 DR. MILLER: At 2 o'clock, because some of them will be leaving.
