<div style="direction: ltr;">We are aware of the typo in the chart in Topic 35, which should say in the Designation Notes: It should read:
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">“35.1, 35.3, 35.5 Consensus; 35.2* and 35.4 Strong Support BUT significant opposition*.....” (my emphasis added)</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">We will fix this for the Final Report (but not in all caps)<span id="ms-outlook-ios-cursor"></span>.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">All,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Please find enclosed Leadership’s response to the challenges to the Consensus Call designations sent out to the list on 12 January 2021. We have also enclosed a copy of the original responses to the Consensus Call as well as the new
Consensus Call Designation chart.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">You will note that we have not made any changes to the overall Topic Designations. However, we have made one slight change in Topic 35, changing 35.2 from Consensus to Strong Support but Significant Opposition with an explanatory note.
The Response pdf explains in more detail the rationale for our decisions.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Also, please remember that all Statements (Minority or otherwise) are due by 18 January 2021 at
<b>23:59 UTC. </b>Our intent is to forward the Final Report (including all designations and links to the Statements) immediately after that deadline.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">For those who have expressed an interest in a letter to the Board, we will send out a doodle poll next week.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thank you everyone for you hard work and dedication!</p>
