| Comment Resolution |
An agreement must be reached between the FMC POC’s organization and the writer via conversation or in writing.
If an agreement cannot be reached, disagreements must be elevated up the chain of command in the contending organization(s) until a decision is reached. If the issue(s) cannot be agreed upon within that time, then MA-43 will request the writer to prepare a decision paper identifying the unresolved issues, and fairly state the positions of the contending organization(s). MA-43 will request the Deputy Secretary to make a decision on the issue and approve the directive for publication.
