Hi,<br>
<br>
It is certainly not a consensus I can be part of. <br>
When you say this is a consensus are you indicating that the ALAC
reps are happy with this so-called consensus?<br>
<br>
As for whether NTIA required an RFP, they did it the last time and
it is an example we should follow.<br>
<br>
As for operation stability. 7 years is a very long time. 10 years
is an infinity.<br>
<br>
I am personally not stuck on 7 years as the period length, but I am
stuck on a periodic RFP.<br>
<br>

What I heard at the face to face meeting is that the directly affected
customers were looking for operational stability and therefore preferred
option 2. My understanding was that consensus was found at 2 rather than 1.
Kind regards,
Olivier
