Theoretically after 1 July ASA's role reverts to simply being the air traffic service provider, and after the above processes are finished they are told what to implement and where.
What about when?

If ASA resources are otherwise fully used; who exactly is going to manage all of this change process; whether it be ATC HAZIDs, Mapping Data, TNAs, Training development then delivery, changes to instructions etc. Please don't say OT, we're already busting from that pressure at the coal face.

What will get priority, Route reviews, airspace change, SDE, UPRs, MLAT, ADS-B, GBAS, GRAS, CDAs, Tailored arrivals, CPDLC, Abinitio training, Experienced ATC training? All the industry needs right now is for things providing benefit to be shelved while things that cost money and provide little or no benefit, for those that pay the bills, are implemented, not!

What is the rest of the world doing? NAS is now (what) 7 years old, without review/amendment? Where do the CASR PARTS fit? What about CTAFs that probably need to be "D"; and the "Ds" that may need to be CTAFs?

Is the Willoughby report which was the 'CBA basis' going to be reviewed? Seems like the CTAF PIR was relatively competent; maybe they could do more.
