Risks & tensions

Vague deadline: 'October 1996' lacks specific day—treated as October 1, 1996 for structural purposes but could be any date that month
Minimal structural change: adds two member representatives and expands consultation language without altering core partnership mechanisms
Reporting requirement may create accountability pressure but scope of report is undefined
