<br><br>there are many regulations under "consultations". But I am unable to get the specific one that best relates to the authors(Okuttah) article. The closest one seem to be the one under Compliance and Enforcement Regulations where the regulator can post inspectors to operators/licensees site...but that still doesnt fit the story @

<br><br>Maybe @Okuttah who is onlist should just email us the document if government side is unable so that the rest of us can be discussing something solid.

<br> On the issue of engagement on the

<br> good authority that most of the stakeholders in government

<br><br> KBy the

<br> diverse interest groups(Academia, Media, Technical,
<br> Operator, Consumer,etc). One begins to wonder if it is by
