The Petitions for Review also present similar arguments on the issue of what portions of CLI-04-10 should be redacted prior to that Orders release to the public. The Commission has voted to approve a Memorandum and Order which affirms in part and reverses in part the Boards March 31st Order and rules on the disclosure or redaction of various kinds of information in the record and in the Boards and Commission decisions. The Memorandum and Order further directs the Board and parties to follow specific procedures set forth in the Memorandum and Order regarding preparation of redacted versions of the Boards five orders dated January 5, 2004, March 31, 2004, and May 27, 2003, and likewise regarding preparation of redacted versions of this Memorandum and Order, CLI-04-10, and CLI-04-27. Would you please affirm your votes?
