the Board felt it was critical to strengthen the <i>Council Necessity</i> section to ensure our Proposal is evaluated on its own history, context, and merit. We believe our Proposal warrants an independent review and should not be lumped with the objectives
of other organizations nor overlooked due to the current fiscal environment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
