the GAC. In fact they all complement each other and made our consensus possible.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Olga, </p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is the operative part of the Dublin communique on ST18.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The GAC considered: </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. The need that each and every Advisory Committee ensures that the advice provided is clear and reflects the consensus view of the Committee;
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. The need that each and every Advisory Committee should preserve its own autonomy in its definition of consensus;
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. The value the Board attributes to receiving consensus advice;
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">.... the GAC agreed to further work on the issue of Stress Test 18...
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">These 3 options considered by the GAC are as different as chalk and cheese. What might an objective analysis of them be? If, as Greg says, the issue is settled, why didn't the GAC simply accept the stress test?
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have no fight in this either, so I'm very much looking to hear a more informed take on the Communique.

nuanced and non-dispositive email, contributing to the overall discourse at the time it was written. Furthermore, it was written 3 March 2015, which in "CCWG time" is several millennia ago -- a further reason not to rely on it as a statement of "position"
in late October. </span></p>
