anyone has comments my feeling is we could keep our own <br />language...I mean it's very similar. But there may be a few things <br />people like better as far as... <br />Mr. Wiseman: I have a few problems. <br />Mr. Goodenow: Good. <br />Mr. Wiseman: There's on 2.3...the processing of petition. <br />Mr. Goodenow: Okay. <br />Mr. Wiseman: And this is on page 2. I have a...it says the board shall notify the <br />petitioner of the date, time and place where the board shall <br />consider the petition, the petitioner's privilege of personal <br />privilege with or without counsel. Why do we have to suggest <br />counsel? This is a non -adversarial position. <br />Mr. Goodenow: Yeah...you'd just wanna amend the rules right? <br />Mr. Wiseman: Yeah. <br />Mr. Goodenow: I'd...that's a good comment...I'd be a...I don't know if anyone <br />else wants to express opinion. Again what we are doing is...we're <br />getting input and then I'm gonna go through all the minutes and <br />put all our changes and... <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />My concern is the...moment like number 1 might have a chilling <br />effect to the one right person who put something in and oh I need <br />an attorney. And second it sort of creates an adversarial position <br />when you have an attorney present you know. That's just my <br />concern. <br />Ms. Sumner -Mack: Can I respond.

Because some people will be too shy <br />to...might be too shy to present without the backup of an attorney. <br />So I don't see any reason to change it. That's my point of view. <br />Mr. Goodenow: You know one thing you could do is put in the...rule 1...I'm sorry <br />we don't have that before us...but I provision that a person always <br />has the right to counsel in all proceedings before the board of <br />ethics. <br />Mr. Wiseman: I like that. <br />19 <br />
