Three key points from Susan

1) Not presupposing what kind of recommendation what will be ultimately approved.

2) We can not wait until March 5 until the decision is made. A large group has already had a conversation in prepartion. What do they need to do to get ready for whatever the board decides. Susan has already generated an action plan based on the current proposal.

3) Communication - Did not make 700 copies of the survey result summary or the budget reduction summary overview. They will have it on the web site by February 28. WHY SO LONG? So, they will not give us results to analyze.

Action team already is preparing for open enrollment all year long. The state does allow them to have parameters around that and close open enrollment when total available is taken.

Recommended to suspend any open enrollment until March 6 so that they do not try to second guess about upcoming changes. This seems very reasonable.
