In addition, both workers' and consumers' councils provide qualitative addenda to their proposals, including descriptions of changes in their circumstances and conditions. If the quality of work in a workplace has altered due to previous investments that have reduced noise or made surroundings more agreeable, it would be noted. Similarly, if the purpose for which a consumer council requests a good is different from last year, this too would be noted. However, when we say units would assemble information and make their proposals available, we do not mean they trudge around searching for data and send off copies of proposals to every unit in the country. Planning is computerized.
All councils can access data banks of all facilitation boards and all other councils.
