vs non-exact). Q2 already asks us to examine the duration of the claims period. But that’s for the claims notice/process as it exists today (the REVIEW of RPMs). If there is a proposal to change something, we would need to re-examine if the decisions we
make on Q2 would need to change as a result of decisions we make on Q4. Which is why I suggested trying to tackle the sub-parts with like sub-parts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

call, at least one person suggested there could be a 3P provider so we need to leave room for that. Also, I think all questions about cost, like your first reference, should be neutral as to allocation of cost – we should not assume costs will be spread out
or distributed in any way. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think breaking this up is likely to make it harder to assess the current system versus the proposed system. I think that Kristine's basic questions could be aggregated at the end, though I have a couple of notes, which are below my slightly
revised version:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Should the matching criteria for Claims be expanded?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">i. If so, how (what criteria) and why?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">a. What is the evidence of harm under the existing system?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">b. What unintended consequences might non-exact matches have?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">c. What is the feasibility of expanded matches? E.g, if human input is required, who would be responsible for that input? Who would pay for it? How would it affect the overall
costs of the TMCH system, and should costs be spread among all users or should TMCH users be allowed to choose whether to use, and pay for, expanded matches? If automated matches are used, how will the automated procedure be developed, at what costs/timeline,
and how will the costs be spread across users?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">ii. If so, should the Claims notice change?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msolistparagraph">a.<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>If so, how?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msolistparagraph">b.<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>Should there be more than one type of Claims notice?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Questions for Kristine: In terms of claims period duration, could you say a little more about why expanding the match criteria would interact with the claims period?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In terms of implementation criteria, could you say more about what you mean by “implementation”? Given what we’ve seen with design marks—where even if there is no consensus about
what to do, what has been revealed is that the provider (here Deloitte) ended up making significant choices that have major effects on what may be included; I would not like to see that repeated, if only to spare future groups similar battles.<o:p></o:p></p>

<i>"In light of the evidence of the TM Claims gathered in Questions 1-3 above, how extensive is the need for non-exact matches? What is the proof of harm under the existing system? What unintended consequences might non-exact matches have? What is the appropriate
balance going forward? a. If non-exact matches are not adopted, then no further action is necessary. b. If non-exact matches of some form are adopted, should the marks in the TMCH be used to generate non-exact matches for the purpose of providing a broader
range of claims notices? If so, how should the claims notices be written?"</i> </span>
