Re: [eia] Access

[Michael Gorman <mpgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All this is true, but what I still don't see is why we need to add access
into the political phase rather than just handling it when it comes up.  If
someone wants to grant a long term access agreement, toss it in with your
political orders by all means, but I don't think you should have to do that.

My problem with requiring it anyhow is that it does favor certain kinds of
agreements since you have to decide access well in advance and then
publicize it well in advance.  I don't see the reason to have to decide far
in advance and lose the right to change your mind until the next turn or to
have to tell everyone else about it in advance.  Sure, they might like to
know, but tough luck, you have to wait and see.
