<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I would very much welcome a comparison of Sole Member, Sole Designator and Board proposal, as described in the paragraph excerpted below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">“As discussed at length leading up to the CCWG’s decision to propose the Community Mechanism as Sole Member Model, a Sole Designator Model would provide an alternative
that provides fairly robust community powers and enforceability though less than the Sole Member Model. <span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">We are preparing at the request of the CCWG a PowerPoint comparison of the Community Mechanism as
Sole Member Model, the Sole Designator Model and the Board Proposal.</span> Our initial assessment is that the Board Proposal -- due to lack of the legal rights that can attach to a member and a designator -- is closest to the current status quo and would
deliver the least robust and enforceable community powers of the three models.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">If the Board views membership as unacceptable, and the community is willing and able to accept that membership is off the table, then the Sole Designator model
is likely to be the best, most mutually acceptable compromise solution. If we can evaluate Sole Designator against our goals and on the spectrum of choices, it will help to inform our decision-making about next steps, the path forward, and the final proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
