May 26 Commission Motion 
"Given significant changes in cost projections, technology and airline
service patterns since the initial IAF plan options were considered, and
the airport's other large capital infrastructure programs (NorthStar,
baggage handling), the Commission will work with the airport staff to
engage key stakeholders, including senior level representatives of all
signatory airlines, in a transparent joint airport/airlines planning
review to be held over 90 days to discuss key issues and work towards
a solution to concerns raised about the project scope and funding.
Such work will include outside subject matter experts with knowledge
of large airport capital projects to provide input and guidance."
