Becky is correct. Let's try to find consensus around the combined Burr/Arasteh proposals.

Whether there are double gains or double losses depends on your starting point.  The status quo is (1) GAC Advice must be supported by consensus, defined as general support with no formal objection; (2) a majority of the Board can reject GAC Advice after efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution; and (3) the GAC is purely advisory.  The 3rd Draft Report language would (1) lock in consensus definition; (2) require a supermajority to reject GAC Advice; and (3) allow the GAC to participate in a decision-making as opposed to purely advisory role.  So arguably that is ³double gains² for the GAC.  The combined proposal would not reverse those double gains - it would still take more than a majority of the Board
(60%) to reject GAC Advice and the GAC would still have the ability to make a call at some point about playing an other than purely advisory role.

One issue that is complicating this discussion is that the GAC has not really made a decision about whether it will remain in a purely advisory role.  If we had clarity on that point the discussions might be simpler.
