</span>I am surprised by the resistance we are seeing to what I thought was a fairly clear bargain: in exchange for yielding on membership, which included inspection rights, the CCWG expected stronger transparency and inspection rights in the Sole Designator model. As has been noted many times in our deliberations, SD relies heavily, if not near-exclusively, on the threat of board member removal, and it would be impossible to have the information needed to utilize that enforcement power without enhanced transparency and inspection rights. Those enhancements are not going to come from vague promises to "review" the DIDP in WS2 or from additional information about the finances. I would caution the board not to attempt to evade this point by calling for additional specifications of " what sort of information is expected to be requested, for what purpose and by whom," as those things be specified in advance.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I entirely agree with Milton. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
