Mr. Dave Walsh:
I do. It is at the chairperson's discretion. However, if a very difficult issue or one that will set an important precedent comes before a three-person board, there will be a proposal to bring it to the full board. Even if it is a smaller-scale case that was originally assigned to a smaller panel, if we believe it will have policy ramifications, it is my job, as chairperson, to identify them and bring the case to the full board.
