Do I need to include character treatments [help needed with screenplay]

My notebook with the info for my “Just O.K. American Novel” is apearantly lost in the ether. So, I bought a zipdrive and 3 ring-binder. Should I include character treatments? I already plan to do it by character, as opposed to topic in the original notes.

When people who decide whether a movie gets made (I originally thought it’d be a novel, but what I’ve written lends better to screenplay) do they expect character treatments (brief descriptions of the major characters)?

Ah. Okay, I didn’t understand the question, so my effort to clarify your thread title didn’t help much, did it?

Alas, even now that I understand the question, I still don’t know the answer.
