[CCWG-ACCT] The 60 percent solution

[Phil Buckingham]

Dear Kavouss,

Thank you for your compromise proposal/ solution. The CCWG really does need
to get over this  huge hurdle. 
I am struggling to keep to up.
 In preparation for the call tomorrow , could you/ Co Chairs  summarise your
and Becky ' alternative recommendation.  The key question to me is which is
easier to implement and the simplest to understand. 
Many thanks,
Phil

Dear Brett
I think it id more straight forward to take 60% than Becky ,s proposal not
because mine is better but more simpler.
Regards
I appeal to you and your distinguished colleagues  as well as Becky to
kindly consider 60% with favourable thought Kavouss
