<p dir="ltr">Hi Co-Chairs,</p>
<p dir="ltr">This sounds like a good plan, I would not expect we would need the service of Sidley for both phases, but let's see how it goes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That said, as we all know that the comment period for the 3rd report will be shorter than normal and there is a chance that the CCWG current draft report will not change significantly before 30 Nov so it may be good to have Sidley look at the current version to give us an idea of how long it will take them to get their analysis to us.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It will be good to get Sidley's output early December so there will be enough time(at least 2 weeks) for CWG to discuss and confirm same to CCWG before the peak of the comment period. I believe it may be helpful if CWG submits her comment early enough as it could be a source of information for others intending to comment.</p>
