What is the ASB's next step after receiving comments on a proposed change?

The appropriate next step for the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) after receiving comments on a proposed change is to have the chair and vice-chair consider the feedback. This process allows for a focused analysis of the comments, enabling the ASB to address specific concerns and suggestions before deciding on any amendments to the proposed changes.

The involvement of the chair and vice-chair is essential as they typically have a deeper understanding of both the current standards and the context of the proposed changes. This step demonstrates the ASB's commitment to transparency and responsiveness in adapting the standards based on stakeholder input. The chair and vice-chair can synthesize the feedback and make informed recommendations to the full board.

Immediate implementation of changes would bypass the necessary evaluation of public input, potentially overlooking critical insights that could enhance the standards. A thorough review by all board members might take too long and could delay the process unnecessarily. Voting on comments without discussion would not facilitate a thorough understanding of the feedback and could lead to inadequate responses to community concerns.
