and are merely reciting what the California statutes say about enforceability of community powers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The fact that you don’t like their answers does not mean the answers are not objective. Further, as we all know, the advice provided depends on the question
asked. For example, if the Board asks Jones Day for a memo on whether binding arbitration is enforceable (and ignores all difficulties in enforcement leading up to the point of binding arbitration), then they will get an opinion that binding arbitration is
enforceable, otherwise known as Alternative Dispute Resolution 101 – could well have been drafted by a first year associate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Dear Co-Chairs,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Based on the mail forwarded by Samantha, I sense some communication issues among CCWG legal and Jones day. I think it will be good for Co-Chairs to follow this up in other to avoid such in future. I don't want to believe yet that the CCWG legal is not acting
in a neutral manner in this process (since Jones day is considered not to be acting neutral by default)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As to your specific question Leon, I note that the approach proposed does not in any way turn SO/AC to member. I also note that 3 options where provided and it seem you only highlighted 1 of them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For me, what we have been made to believe at CCWG is that enforceability is NOT possible with the board proposed approach and it will be good to answer that fundamental question before even considering complexity/capture.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Regards<o:p></o:p></p>

As Holly noted in her cover email, CCWG Counsel's "Comparison of Independent Review Processes" was provided to Jones Day in advance of it being circulated to the CCWG. In the interests of transparency, please note that Jones Day did not provide line edits
identifying the areas of disagreement with CCWG Counsel, but instead provided the attached memorandum for CCWG Counsel's consideration. CCWG Counsel did not revise its Comparison document to reflect the thoughts set forth in the attached Jones Day memo.
Sidley/Adler understood that this memo would be shared with the CCWG after their Comparison document was circulated.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
