Maupin, C. J.,
concurring:
I agree that this matter should be reversed and remanded to give Hudson the option of setting aside his pleas of guilty or undergo a second sentencing proceeding. I would note separately that our ruling in this matter does, in part, clarify the confusion over the requirements for sufficient plea canvasses and does not undermine, in any respect, our prior ruling in State v. Freese.1 However, I would also note that, in the wake of our decisions on this issue, many district courts in Nevada have taken variant approaches to the canvass process. Given the split of opinion within this court on these matters, and given the variances in approach statewide, I am now of the view that we should examine the possibility of developing a mandatory oral canvass that would minimize the uncertainties in this process.

 116 Nev. 1097, 13 P.3d 442 (2000).
